Featured Artist Profile
Kings In Pieces
The current Featured Artist: Kings In Pieces out of Detroit Michigan has a sound like a cross between Alice In Chains And Three Doors Down with a touch of Aaron Lewis of Staind.Be assured that THIS sound is all their own though.Kings In Pieces have such an appeal to their sound accented by phenominal haunting vocals of Jimmy Pecor.Lyrics listeners can relate to and draw memories from personal experiences from.An exceptionally talented band which is obviously why they were chosen as this month's Featured Artist.There is now doubt this band WILL go a long way.-LoNeWoLf
LoNeWolf: Your band was formed in April of 2007. Obviously by the sound of the band you all had prior experience.What musical experience did you guys have prior to this band?
K.I.P: We've all played in various bands over the years. From choir to piano, school band you name it.
LoNeWoLf: Have you guys always played this style of music?
K.I.P.: No, we've all played different styles. Our backgrounds vary quite a bit. We think its what we bring individually that makes our sound.
LoNeWoLf:Who have been your influences as far as music is concerned?
K.I.P.: Everyone and anything. We all grew up listening to different styles. Collectively though we'd say Alice In Chains, Aerosmith, Led Zepplin, and Clutch.
LoNeWoLf: Who writes the music and lyrics in the band?
K.I.P.: Jimmy Pecor writes the all the lyrics. Shaun Zisler,Johnny Larose and Kyle McAlpine all kick in their own ideas and riffs as far as coming up with the musical end.
LoNeWoLf: Of the songs you have written do you have a personal favorite?
K.I.P.: If we had to pick one, it would be Addiction. Ifs by far our most powerful song.
LoNeWoLf:The band uses some impressive brands of equipment that obviously contribute to the refined sound.Do you currently have any endorsements?
K.I.P.: No, not currently. We do have a few local sponsors however.
LoNeWoLf: I understand you have an important show at TNT's Bar And Grill in Clinton Township on March 13th coming up.Would you like to elaborate on the details and significance of this show?
K.I.P.: Actually we just signed a development deal tonight and unfortunately playing the TNT's show on the 13th would be a breach of contract for us. However we will be playing the Emerald Theater( located in Mt Clemens MI) on the 19th. It will be our first showcase sponsored by Carribean Tan. There will be a beauty pagent as well.
LoNeWoLf: Have you been approached by any labels?
K.I.P.: Actually we just signed with M.A.M.A. Productions.
LoNeWoLf: Any new music in the form of an EP or CD coming and will the style be the same? Any upcoming tours nationally?
K.I.P.: Sorry, have to refer back to the previous answer. We were going to release our album online in digital format for download on the 1st of April. Unfortunately this is also a breach of contract. Our album could be delayed as much as one year, not real sure as of yet. Its all part of our deal. Don't worry there will be new songs included, we'll keep you posted. As far as tours anything beyond regional will also be at least a year in the making. We will be playing a few select gigs out of state , such as The House of Blue in New Orleans.
LoNeWoLf: Where can readers buy your music?
K.I.P.: No where as of yet. Like We said everything is kinda on hold for the moment. As soon as we hear more we'll let you know. In the meantime you can hear us at: www.myspace.com/kingsinpieces or www.sonicbids.com/kingsinpieces Thank again for all the support Jimmy,Shaun,Johnny and Kyle
LoNeWoLf: Thanks guys for your time and definately keep me posted what new is happening.Hopefully there will be some shows down the line.
