King Youngblood
King Youngblood is focused on reclaiming rock music, specifically black fronted rock packed with strong song writing, Afro-Punk attitude and an undeniably exhilarating live show. Alternative Press calls King Youngblood “Seattle’s Alt Rock Princes” – and Pacific Northwest fans enthusiastically agree. Founder, guitarist and front man Cameron Lavi-Jones, along with, drummer Paul Stoot, cellist Chet Peterson, and bassist Samy Garcia have a singular mission: grab heavy guitar/drums rock by the collar, couple it with serious lyrics and unforgettable melodies and deliver it all into the willing arms of a fresh new generation of fans currently fueling the world-wide resurgence of rock music. The world agrees with affirming accolades including AfroPunk Magazine in October 2022 declaring “King Youngblood’s skill at transforming a small phrase into a massive hook is at this point unparalleled in the world of heavy but melodic music.”
Their 2022 year was an explosive break out year with their critically acclaimed album Big Thank released in May 2022. It is no wonder the Seattle Times listed King Youngblood in the top 20 albums of 2022. PNW fans are now eagerly awaiting King Youngblood’s new studio album Out Run Your Shadow slated for a Spring 2026 release.
