  • Jonny Reeves Confirms He Is No Longer A Member Of Kingdom Of Giants

    Bassist/vocalist Jonny Reeves has confirmed that he is no longer a member of Kingdom Of Giants. He left the band to focus on The Amity Affliction.

    Reeves said the following during a recent appearance on The Downbeat Podcast:

    “I’m not in the band anymore, as of last December, I would say… Things just were coming to a head where they’re just like, ‘We’ve got plans, and you’ve got other plans going on over here.’ And so it was kind of this, it’s [an] in my court decision.

    And I was just like, I don’t wanna hold them back from achieving their goals, but this [The Amity Affliction] aligns with the goals that I’m after. And with things just working so well with this group, it was really kind of a no-brainer.”

    He went on to say the band were “disappointed.” However, there is “no bad beef from [his] end.”

  • Scene Queen Premieres New Song “Tracksuit”

    Scene Queen has premiered a new song titled “Tracksuit.” You can find a visualizer for that track below. Scene Queen commented:

    “‘Tracksuit‘ is what would happen if you combined my two favorite things: y2k fashion and terror. The song is meant to feel like a continuous train of thought from when you bust in the door of your home and see a tracksuit that isn’t yours (imagine thinking Scene Queen wouldn’t notice a tracksuit that isn’t pink) to when I get arrested for murder. The message is simple: don’t cheat on Scene Queen because she is crazy.”
