Dropout Kings To Play For The First Time in Romania at RLM 2024
Dropout Kings are an American Nu-Metal / Rap Metal band formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 2016, and will be playing for the first time in Romania at Rock la Mures. The band was started by vocalist Adam Ramey, as a way to stay active. He approached rapper Eddie Wellz to do a cover of Linkin Park’s “Lying From You” after seeing a video of Wellz performing on YouTube and they hit it off from there. Their name being a nod to the idea of “dropping out” of the status quo and pursuing your own path in life. The band’s music often deals with themes of struggle, perseverance, and self-improvement, with lyrics that are both introspective and empowering.
DOK have also been recognized with several awards and nominations, including being recognized by the Recording Academy to be considered in the first round voting for that year’s Grammy Awards for the “Best New Artist” 2022 category, Alternative Rock Band Of The Year 2019 presented by AZMT MUSIC AWARDS, and their single “Virus” peaking at #33 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Radio Charts while spending 12 weeks in the Top 40 in 2021. They’ve also collaborated with a number of brands and influencers most notably a T Shirt collaboration with a NASCAR driver they sponsored, a Rap+Metal Cover Song with Hiphop Entrepreneur / MC Futuristic, affiliations with Stay Sick Records as they work closely and tour with Fronzilla from Attila as well as a number of other collaborations.
Their live performances are a real explosion of energy. A blend of American rap lyrics and metal elements bursting with nerves makes for an unprecedented display of power. With over 30 million streams on Spotify and countless presences on the world’s greatest stages, Dropout Kings is, at the moment, one of the most successful NU metal bands.
