King Youngblood
King Youngblood Website / IG / Spotify 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.
Starcrawler with The Girls
Starcrawler Website / IG / FB / Bandcamp / Spotify Starcrawler are a rock band for a new generation. Best known for their explosive live shows, the 5-piece band consists of full-throttle frontwoman Arrow De Wilde, guitarist Henri Cash and brother Bill Cash on pedal steel/guitar, drummer Seth Carolina, and bassist Tim Franco. With two studio albums under their belts, their upward trajectory continues to roll full steam ahead in 2022 with the release of their brand-new single, “Roadkill.” Fully leaning into their own epic vision of a contemporary Hollywood Babylon, they’ve morphed into a modern day take on LA legends X, with a sprinkle of The Go-Go’s, a smattering of The Distillers and some Rolling Stones sleaze thrown in for good measure. Since their early days, Starcrawler have won the love of such legendary artists as Shirley Manson, Elton John, Iggy Pop, Jack White, Dave Grohl, and more all while opening for the likes of Jack White and My Chemical Romance, and previous support slots with luminaries such as Beck, Foo Fighters and Spoon among others. Now embarking on a new ‘era’, Los Angeles’ most thrilling rock’n’roll collective are as raw and hungry as ever, but refined, refreshed and ready to take on whatever’s thrown at them
