No longer trying to make sense out of the world.

Almost Kings formed out of Atlanta, GA in 2008, and immediately hit the road for 2+ years supporting Rehab. The band continued to tour independently around the U.S., performing 200-250 shows each year from 2009 - 2014. AK has headlined countless shows as well as supported a wide variety of acts from Avenged Sevenfold to Yelawolf to Sevendust.

in 2012, Almost Kings won a nationwide CBS-sponsored, fan-driven contest and performed at the Grammys. In 2014, they earned a performance at the ESPN X-Games with Kanye West, Mac Miller, and Slightly Stoopid. The band followed up with a nationwide, nearly sold-out tour with Bone Thugs n Harmony.

After four independently successful albums and a few lineup changes & additions, AK continues to write, tour, and perfect their craft & brand. 2017 promises more for the band, including a tour with The Lacs, another new album, festival appearances, and music placement opportunities.

ProType is a Hard Rock band based in Martin, TN.
