Imagine that all of rock and roll has converged into one band. Now imagine that band taking on all of rock and roll, and wrestling it to he ground. That band is KING KOOL. With a beating core of Dan Donovan on vocals and guitars and Pas on vocals and drums, KING KOOL were born from the critically-rated Tribe Of Dan in 2005, stalking the English fens like Iggy Pop on the moors stalking the Hound of the Baskervilles. "Vampin" is their third album released Feb 2010. Their 2005 album "Roken" took the spirit of the Stooges, The Pixies and Sonic Youth and forced it through the narrow screaming pipes of Motorhead and Black Sabbath. The 2007 album, "Yeah Yeah Liberte", did the same thing, only more so The third, "Vampin", just takes the severed, bleeding heads of the other two albums, bangs them together and creates some of the most utterly fearsome garage punk new wave no wave tidal wave music you have ever heard!

KING KOOL is the sound of your radio getting fed up with vomiting out crap you hear year after year and taking the law into it's own hands. It's every gang brawl between crack- crazed bikers and acid- addled nerds. It's the future of the past and the present and of the future.
