Hailing from New York, New Jersey & Pennsylvania, Northeastern U.S.A. Kings Never Die walk the linebetween positive, uplifting messages and dead serious subject matter. A musical and lyrical mix ofHardcore & Punk.Fresh off there 2023 “All The Rats” LP’ release and last November’s European Tour in support of Dog EatDog on their Free Radicals tour, Kings Never Die is set to enter the studio late March to begin recordingtheir follow and sophomore LP’. Scheduled to be released in September 2024. The Band, Comprised ofmembers, Dylan Gadino (Vocals) Dan Nastasi (Guitar/Vocals) Larry Nieroda (Guitar) & Evan Ivkovich(Bass). Drummer Danny Schuler who recorded All The Rats with the band has obviously had to shift hisefforts back to Biohazard. The band has called on John Milnes (who originally recorded material fromfirst 2 EP’s) to handle the drumming duties on this upcoming LP’ and toured Europe last fall withSchuler’s longtime friend Frankie Deangelis on the kit.The band has a relentless appetite to write, record and release material. In the span of the last 4 years,with the release of their debut EP’ “Raise A Glass” in early 2020 right before the Covid Pandemic,essentially shutting down the rest of 20’,21’ tour plans, still managed to release the single & video of“It’s What We Live For” in 2021, along with Video Remixes, leading directly into “The Good Times & TheBad EP’ 2022, followed by debut album “All The Rats” 2023. “The goal and the love are to create songsthat are honest, true and heartfelt. I feel blessed to be able to have this ability, love and passion andthat the music keeps coming. As a band, we never want to slip or not be working. writing, recording, andtouring as much and often as possible. I think 5 releases in four years shows how much we care and howblessed we feel to have each other and this community”, says Nastasi.Some may recognize Dan Nastasi from his past work as original Dog Eat Dog (ABK era) and before thatMucky Pup. Evan “ONE” Ivkovich as the bass player in Wisdom in Chains. Larry Nieroda performing withMurphy’s Law through many years etc. Although fans of those bands are sure to not be disappointed,Kings Never Die want to completely stand on their own regardless of their resume of bands. Nastasiadd’s, “This is all about what we are doing now, although we love and respect the people and bands wehave played with, past and present, people should only judge Kings Never Die on who and what we arenow. Of course, we hope people who enjoy what we’ve done individually in the past dig it, but make nomistakes, there are no shortcuts and nobody really gives a shit about the past. We have cultivated thisband from the ground up, we’re putting the work and love what we are doing and what we createdhere.”The tentatively titled follow up LP’ “The Life & Times” will contains 12 nonstop tracks. Those, and mostthat have heard the new material all agree this album has evolved into a harder, more riff orientedmusical back drop version of Kings Never Die and the band has taken the chant, sing along vocal style toa new level. Songs like Never Let Go, Underdogs, The Life & Times, The Rights & Can I Get a Witness.Other tracks of interest are Kill The Cowards, War & Youth, Empathy and Bigger They Come, Harder TheyFall. The listener should expect memorable vocals and lyrics spit out by Gadino & Nastasi adding in as hehas done in his past.
