Cast of Kings

About Me


Los Angeles based band Cast of Kings are best described as a “true” rock-n-roll band.

The band combines intense vocals, catchy guitar riffs and a driving rhythm section to deliver a one of a kind knockout punch. Think if AC/DC, Aerosmith, Guns n’ Roses, Stone Temple Pilots and Kiss were to conceive a musical love child during a one-night stand, the product would be Cast of Kings. This group is poised to be the next band to emerge from the Los Angeles rock scene into the national spotlight.

With tremendous musicianship, explosive stage presence and an air of overall reckless abandon, Cast of King’s young and raw energy keeps the sound current and vital while paying tribute to the roots of rock.

In 2008 the Album “Royal Feast” was recorded independently by the band and helmed by local producer Rev. Tom Chandler. In the 6 months in and out of the studio the band formed a tight personal unity, but still forged through creative differences and inner turmoil to create an amazing album which stands up next to many of the bands influences. “Our goal was to make our own Back in Black or Appetite for Destruction” said Singer Jesse Forte, “Even if we came up a little short of that, this is a record I’m very, very proud of. It’s a great first record.” The record features the stand out rock tracks “Stella”, “Prom Queen”, and “Killer” but stills offer epic change ups like “Last Great Movie Scene” or a southern rock flavored track like “Shovel Full of Love”.

“Stella” has been aired locally on Star 98.7 Ozo Local Show and C.O.K. were asked to play a station sponsored auto show in Anaheim Convention Center for a full house of guests. The song “Killer” made its premiere on Los Angeles’ Indie 103 fm just prior to the late 2008 CD release. Cast of Kings’ bass player ,Steve Earnhart, also has been a part of Itunes Metalkast where he unveiled “Stella” and “Prom Queen” to an amazingly receptive metal audience.

Cast of Kings has become a welcome addition at many LA hotspots and Clubs. The band frequently performs at The Viper Room, The Key Club, King King, the Dragonfly, The Good Hurt, 14 Below, The Whisky a Go-Go, the Saddle Ranch and the Cat Club.
