about

This next band told us that being in a band in their scene is somewhat tough. Nevertheless, Kingdom of Thrones out of Arkansas has continued chasing their dream. Since forming in October of 2013 they have faced the realities that a lot of local bands do, that being a band is not easy. When we asked them what national acts they have been able to share the stage with, they explained to us that, “We have not shared the stage with any national touring bands yet sadly. We got in the local scene right as it was dying out around here; we are kind of a rare breed in this location.” It’s interesting seeing what parts of the country local scenes thrive in and where they do not. It’s one of the main reasons why we wanted to have a compilation like this, to bring light to some of the bands in these local scenes that many are not familiar with. Fortunately, despite the lack of our opportunity the band has stayed right on track. To quote the bands FB, they’re description reads, “Our goal in life is to do what others say we’d never succeed in.” This is the exact attitude they need to have in order to make it, especially in a scene that is evidently struggling to bring about new music.

The band has yet to release an EP or full length, but have 3 singles available for streaming on their Youtube. It’s possible that we might be seeing their debute EP soon; as they told us they have enough material to record an EP with. The three songs we have listened to sound very professional. In terms of influences the band cites Memphise May Fire, Chunck! No Captain Chunk!, and Beartooth as being a significant inspiration to them. It is with any hope that we can get them the exposure they need play with these bands soon!


Q&A TIME

If you could tour anywhere in the country where would you go, and why?

KOT: “Wed LOVE to go on the Vans Warped Tour route and tour. Had huge dreams of that for many many years.”

How would you sum up your music scene in one sentence?

KOT: “The NWA local scene is very diverse non the less. We have Pop Punk to the rappers to the Blues to the DJs to the Death metal to just about whatever else you want to listen to. That can all be found here in Northwest Arkansas. But in one word, “Universal” comes to mind.”
