About

We the Kings are a melodic emo-pop band from Bradenton, Florida, a small Southern town that doubles as the home base for Tropicana orange juice. Friends since childhood (the band's moniker even refers to the name of their junior-high mascot), the four bandmates -- singer/guitarist Travis Clark, guitarist Hunter Thomsen, his bassist brother Drew Thomsen, and drummer Danny Duncan -- formed the group while attending high school. Under the guidance of manager Bret Disend, they placed a number of tracks on the social networking site Purevolume in 2007 to build online buzz. Meanwhile, they also pursued a deal with EMI's imprint S-Curve Records, which eventually signed the group.

We the Kings' self-titled debut album was produced by Sam Hollander and mixed by Lou Giordano, both of whom had done work with some of emo-pop's most marketable acts, and released in October 2007. "Check Yes Juliet" cracked the Pop 100 that fall, and the group spent much of the following two years on the road, playing shows alongside simpatico bands like The Academy Is... and Hey Monday. They also found time to record a second album, Smile Kid, which arrived in late 2009. Like the band's debut, Smile Kid spawned a Top 100 single with "We'll Be a Dream," which featured guest vocals from Demi Lovato. We the Kings continued to tour heavily, supporting All Time Low for several months before headlining their own shows at home and abroad. The shows stretched into 2011, by which point the group had already begun work on a third album. Sunshine State of Mind was released that summer. ~ Stewart Mason, Rovi

    by Kenzie on 1/30/24Delmar Hall - Saint Louis

    After waiting 11 years to see them live, the show did not disappoint and was well worth the wait, had a blast with my friend, the band was incredible and really interacted with the crowd, the lead singer (Travis) kept one of his inears out the whole show so he could hear us!! Overall amazing

    Another great show

    by Sam on 1/30/24Delmar Hall - Saint Louis

    This is the 4th time I’ve seen We The Kings and they deliver, as always. They hit all the highlights from their own albums and toss in a few surprise covers, which are always fun. I also loved the opening band 408, which really vibed with the overall WTK experience, I thought. The venue was great, too. Small enough to feel intimate, but not so small you felt overcrowded and uncomfortable.

    Amazing, intimate, unforgetable

    by Nikkicole2733 on 3/1/17Brighton Music Hall - Boston

    I love We The Kings, it made it even better being in such a smaller space. I was close to the stage, didn't feel overwhelmed, and the environment was amazing! Band is amazing at live music.
