Alternative Press calls King Youngblood “Seattle’s Alt Rock Princes” - they sure got that right. Twenty-two-year-old founder and frontman Cameron Lavi-Jones, along with bassist Hamoon Milaninia, drummer Alix Daniels, and cellist Chet Peterson have a singular mission: grab heavy guitar/drums rock by the collar and drag it into the willing arms of the new generation of fans current fueling the resurgence of Rock. King Youngblood crafts beautifully crisp, deeply soulful, and elegantly strong songs.
King Youngblood has been leading the rising Pacific Northwest pack long before pop’s biggest names started embracing cathartic rock music. Led by Black/Jewish Lavi-Jones, King Youngblood’s music is an instrumental leap towards the future of big, guitar-driven music. Already championed by the likes of multiplatinum producer Phillip Peterson (A$AP Rocky, Portugal the Man, Pink) and London Bridge studio owner and producer Eric Lilavois (Ayron Jones, My Chemical Romance, Macklemore, Death Cab for Cutie), the band’s sound incorporates a unique blend of heavy guitars and drums coupled with an electrified acoustic cello, shining a light on the melodic pop hooks that underpin their compositions.
