Liquid Kings is a rock and roll band that “can be described with the single word ‘rock’. The Portland-based band eschews punk's savage efficiency, saving space for sprawling solos, and it replaces metal's growling menace with vocal vulnerability.” - The Portland Mercury. 

Liquid Kings is the brainchild of Tye Lewman who serves as the main writer, composer and instrumentalist for the band. Along the way he’s had help from Adam Byrne (drums), Jake Hamilton (drums), Teo Andrigo (drums), Skyylar Pelous (backing vocals), Jimi Gutino (backing vocals), Chris McDonnell (bass) and Dave Michael (bass) and is looking forward to collaborating with more musicians in the future. 

Liquid Kings long-awaited LP ‘Apparition’ released in July 2022 and is a culmination of years of song writing and highlights their growth through the years.  The band’s music recorded in their personal studio, Leviathan Studios; has been described as “Rock and Roll with bite, energy and searing guitar solos…high energy music with phenomenal vocals…metaphorical pyromania”.  Lewman says that “the goal of Liquid Kings is to break free of the repetitive and watered-down sound of the radio.  Our mission is to steer the focus back on to the music and to resuscitate the rock scene through live performances and local awareness.” 

Liquid Kings’ music has reached the Oregon Top 10 list on the website www.broadjam.com two separate times (‘Silent Hole’ and ‘Loaded Gun’).  The band has been featured on 3 independent short films (Déjà Vu, One and a Quarter, and Artificial Echoes) and has earned numerous awards through garageband.com, including winners of Track of the Day and Best Guitars for the song ‘Shadow Mind’. In the past, Liquid Kings was proud to headline the Movies in the Parks shows put on by Portland Parks & Recreations and has played the Portland Rose Festival twice.  The band received great exposure to a wide range of audiences while simultaneously giving back to the community. 

According to Crave Magazine, Liquid Kings is “a fantastic representation of what NW rock is doing” and LSF Presents adds “they're from Portland and they're headed for bigger places.” 

Liquid Kings continues to play “lumberjack rock and roll” throughout the Northwest and looks forward to experiencing new venues; bringing forth “attention demanding” rock music that can be enjoyed by a diverse range of individuals. 

Keep rock alive!
