Kolo are a pop rock three-piece based in South London.

In 2011, after a number of years working hard to make Kolo the next big thing; Jon Burnell, their Devon front man, arrives in London alone with an acoustic guitar and a handful of new songs, intent on getting the band going again. Like so many aspiring musicians, Jon turns to Gumtree and quickly finds two enthusiastic recruits to join his pursuit for that elusive record deal. Kolo now consists of Spanish born Dani Mourinho on bass, Steve Fuller from Croydon on drums and front man Jon Burnell.

The band previously toured America with 3 Doors Down, so when it came to recording an album earlier in 2014, Jon knew exactly whom he wanted to record with. Kolo flew out to Nashville TN in March this year to record their debut album 'Do you want to rule the world?' with Chris Henderson (3 Doors Down guitarist). The album is due for release in early 2015.

Establishing a huge rock sound, influenced by the storytelling of great British bands such as The Smiths and Stereophonics, the band have spent the last year refining their techniques in their new south London home.

The band signed with LHMRecords in summer 2014. 'Castro', the first track from their forthcoming album, 'Who Wants to Rule the World?' Comes out on January 19th 2015.
