Members of the Speed Kings are not messing around when they say they embody the essence of rock 'n roll. This punk-rock group takes aim at the roots of rock, drums ablaze, bass kicking and vocals screaming. The three-piece band was formed in the mid 2000s in Wilmington, North Carolina. Known for deft, guitar-driven rhythms and a crashingly big sound, The Speed Kings is one act not to miss.
