The Kings of Hell built a strong fan base by extensive touring in the southeast and toured Iceland in the fall of 2005 and spring of 2006. Short stint in Italy as well. Then went on to release two five song demos; however it wasn't until the winter of 2007 that they finally took the time to record their first full length LP "Shotgun Wedding". In the summer of 2008 The Kings of Hell produced their first music video for the title track of this album and in 2009 a video for the second single "Don't Know Ya" was released. The band toured thru 2009 in the US and Overseas in support of their LP Shotgun Wedding.
The Kings of Hell music originally started as traditionally rockabilly with a little more upbeat country, then gradually changed and became more rock ‘n’ roll. “We bring a bit of a rougher edge to a style of music that is normally played very traditionally” said Fish “We’ve all done the Rock N Roll thing, found the joy in Country and the Western and thrashed out the punk thing”. This is Rockabilly with an edge, it’s Modern Cowpunk, it’s Blues and Jump Swing, it’s messed up more than a box of coat hangers, It's The Kings of Hell.
The Kings of Hell draws its influences from drive ins, honky tonks, the car culture and motorcycle scene performs its own style of music with its own rules, “We ain’t kissin no babies… We ain’t shakin no hands… Kings of Hell rollin on thru your town.”
