No More Kings

No More Kings is an American alternative rock band that has been captivating listeners since their eponymous debut album "No More Kings" in 2007. The band is largely the brainchild of singer/songwriter Pete Mitchell, whose clever lyrics and catchy melodies have become a signature sound for the group. The name of the band is a reference to the chess rule of the same name, suggesting strategy, intelligence, and an element of fun, which are certainly reflected in their music.

Over the years, No More Kings has continued to release music that often combines elements of rock, pop, and hip-hop, underlain by a quirky and nostalgic sensibility. Their 2009 album, "And the Flying Boombox," built on the success of their debut, bringing more fan favorites into the mix. With tracks like "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown," No More Kings showcases their ability to reinterpret classics with a fresh and modern twist. Their latest release, "Eating Ghosts," is another testament to the band's evolution while staying true to the energetic and innovative spirit that has defined their career. Their music often features playful allusions to popular culture, particularly from the 70s and 80s, which resonates strongly with fans who appreciate a dose of nostalgia with their modern rock.
