Born in the time of struggle, and forged in the fires of strife, five brothers emerged into the 21st century with a desire to create a single voice with which to set the record straight.
Standing up to the constant threat of bankruptcy and shrugging the weight of great social inequity, THE KONS made a collective effort to rise up and draw attention to the horror and absurdity of existence in the new millennium.
Eager to participate in the war against tyranny and oppression, THE KONS picked up instruments rather than weapons, and began to use art to face the chaotic meaninglessness, to overcome the horrible truth, and to seek redemption.
During their first concert, a benefit held in an vacant parking lot, an armed regime battered THE KONS for their controversial BOMBCHECK.
After a brief confinement as political prisoners, THE KONS returned to the streets to protest with the pro-war anthem Love and Lace.
By mid 2002, THE KONS began to reject the traditional stance of promoting liberal ideals, choosing instead to articulate the anger and aspirations of the exhausted middle class. In the process, THE KONS enraged certain factions of the entrenched regime.
In late 2002, THE KONS compound was raided by armed men who, after a violent struggle, absconded a sacred KONS drum machine that stored the only copy of a beat so incredible that they opposition needed to destroy it before it was released.
However, THE KONS could not be stopped - and they continue to fight one sonic punch at a time.
With a combination of blaring guitars, caustic horns, smoldering grooves, and antiphonal vocals, THE KONS produce an intoxicating sound of sociopolitical aggression which has become a rallying point for the oppressed underclass and political prisoners everywhere.
It is almost impossible to overstate the impact and the importance of THE KONS in the fight against the entrenched regime, and to ignore them would be to silence the plaintive voices of the abused once again.
