Roadside Rhythms

New album out now

Bio

NO KING is a dynamic band with roots in both the east and west of the Netherlands, known for their energetic and captivating performances. The band delivers a refreshing mix of powerful blues rock infused with funky influences. The sublime guitar work, the distinctive sound of a snarling Hammond organ with Leslie, solid drums, and a groovy bass come together to create an unforgettable musical experience.

Inspired by legendary blues, rock, and funk icons, NO KING proves—with a nod to their influences—that you don't need "King" in your name to deliver a royal dose of blues rock.
