KOTTONMOUTH KINGS

An Underground revolution… against all odds and logic and always against the grain the Kottonmouth Kings continue to release ground breaking albums on their own label Suburban Noize Records. With soundscan numbers in the millions and packed houses across the country, Kottonmouth Kings have been laying the foundation of one of today’s most radical music movements in America and beyond. Combining mind-bending sonics, fusing Hip Hop, Punk Rock, and soul-flavored classics, The Kings have innovated and pioneered their own sound that has set them apart from the pack. In a day and age of fast food consumerism, The Kings have proved their lasting staying power redefining the meaning of a self empowered group. They are an institution in the sub-culture of America, running their own clothing company and label that hosts 24 other acts.

Kottonmouth Kings celebrated this year’s annual 4-20 holiday with the release of their Legalize It EP, which was released through digital retailers on April 20, 2011. Embracing their passion and talent for creating music, Kottonmouth Kings have assembled an EP rich in musical diversity, as they flirt with a number of styles to showcase their true creative firepower. "There are people that want to write Kottonmouth Kings off as a one dimensional weed band, but that is because it's easy to put a label on what we do. Yes we love weed and champion the cause, but the levels and depths of our songs go a lot deeper than just that one dimension," commented Brad X. "Anyone who can't look past the weed references on our albums are completely missing out on some of our best material. We have a passion for music and that is why on a Kottonmouth Kings record you have punk-rock songs next to hip-hop, as well as mellow acoustic tracks or alt-rock. Yes we do write songs about weed and legalization, but we also write about life, love, politics and the beauty our planet.” The Legalize It digital EP is being served as an appetizer for Kottonmouth Kings upcoming full-length studio album The Sunrise Sessions, which is set for a July 19, 2011 release through Suburban Noize Records.

Everyone likes to root for the underdog and hope that they pull off the upset of the century. It’s the appeal of watching someone come out of left field with a belly full of fire and desire that the top dogs will never have and using it to catapult to the top. crawling through the ranks of the underground, this 330 pound hip-hop outlaw from Las Vegas is ready to kick some ass and take names as the one true “American Underdog”.
