We The Kings – Live in Singapore!

Upsurge Productions is excited to present pop-rock band We The Kings first live concert performance in Singapore!

Since forming in high school in Florida, pop-rock band We the Kings have rung up a string of top 10 rock albums (2007’s We the Kings, 2009’s Smile Kid and 2011’s Sunshine State of Mind) and several Gold/platinum singles (‘Check Yes Juliet’, ‘Say You Like Me’, ‘We’ll Be A Dream” featuring Demi Lovato). Along the way, they have toured the world several times over (including five stints on the Warped Tour) and earned an extraordinarily dedicated fan base.

But the band decided to approach their fourth album differently. They went completely DIY. ‘We wanted to make this record completely fan-based,’ explains Clark. This meant making the difficult decision to leave their long time record label and raise the recording budget on their own. The band turned to the crowd-funding site Indiegogo, hoping to reach a modest budget goal within a month. Thanks to those diehard fans, they got there in just one day. The fan-first approach certainly worked: Somewhere Somehow is already the highest charting record in We the Kings history, #44 on the US Billboard 200 Chart during the competitive Christmas season.

This increasingly personal side to We the Kings now extends off the record. Recently, several members of the band started video blogs, documenting their everyday life on YouTube. ‘It’s so people understand why we write the songs we do,’ says the singer. Of particular note is bass player Charles Trippy, who chronicles his struggles (and triumphs) while battling brain tumour.

We the Kings may have changed their style over the years. But their mission remains the same.”The goal of our band since day one, even from the first album, is to make the world a happier place,’ says Clark. ‘This album just takes it full circle.’
