Music Nation is a Music Video Competition for Independent Artists

Miami, Florida may be world-renown for its never-ending parties, celebs and excess; now it’s also the home to Independent Alternative Rockers, Vic Kingsley. Despite being caught in a city which only looks toward molding the next Latin pop star, Kingsley is fighting to make a stand and place Miami’s rock scene on the map. Formed in the summer of 2007, when Vic began recording what was to be known as the Seven Keys EP, the band came together due to the demand for a live show. Since then Kingsley has played at many of South Florida’s best music venues and opened for recording artists Hellogoodbye. They even performed at SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX 2008, which proved to be a great experience for the band. The band went back into the studio during Winter 2007 and completed the remainder of their full-length album entitled, These Frequencies, which is being released April 2008. Behind the board again was Producer, Engineer, & Mixer Ethan Carlson. The recordings have opened many doors for Kingsley, as they landed a full endorsement deal with Gibson Guitars. Gibson provided the band with all the gear featured in their first music video, "B for Breaking My Heart," directed by Ryan Lindsey. The next few months will be busy, as the band hosts their CD Release Party followed by a special performance at this year’s Sunfest Music Festival, alongside The Black Crowes, John Legend, Fergie & more. Then, Kingsley hits NYC with two special showcases at the Bitter End in late May, before returning to start work on their followup EP. With a sound reminiscent of Snow Patrol, Travis, Mute Math & Coldplay, Vic Kingsley masters the epic, sing-along chorus while keeping their musical integrity intact. The Group is comprised of Jon Draper who plays bass and backup vocals, Luke Moellman on drums, keys and backup vocals, Ethan Carlson on guitars, & Vic Kingsley on lead vocals, guitars, keys and harmonica. Fans rave Kingsley to be both accessible, yet artistically satisfying. Please listen for yourself & please leave a comment.
