The Kings are a legendary Canadian rock band best known for their infectious blend of power pop and new wave sounds that dominated the airwaves in the early 1980s. Hailing from Oakville, Ontario, the band skyrocketed to fame with their hit single “This Beat Goes On/Switchin’ to Glide,” an enduring classic that remains a staple on classic rock radio stations. Formed in the late 1970s, The Kings consist of lead vocalist and bassist Dave Diamond and guitarist and songwriter Mr. Zero. Their debut album, The Kings Are Here, was produced by renowned producer Bob Ezrin (known for his work with Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, and Kiss), and its success cemented their place in rock history.
Over the years, The Kings have continued to perform and release music, thrilling audiences with their dynamic stage presence and timeless anthems. Join Dave Diamond and Mr. Zero on Dystopia Tonight for a dive into the stories behind the music, their journey through decades of rock and roll, and what keeps The Kings going strong after all these years!
