Kevin Lee knew music would be his life when at age 14 he played at a junior high school party with his band. And he's been making powerful guitar rock with creative melodies since that day. Fans of modern guitar pop/rock may recognize Lee from his days as Kevin Lee and the Lonesome City Kings. Signed to MCA in 1992, the band's first single "Standing in the Line of Fire" was chosen for an NBA All Stars Video and used in the movie "A Dangerous Woman." Several years and several records later, Lee is back with his current band, Kevin Lee and the Kings. The 10 songs on the band's upcoming album "Breakout" are well worth a listen for their big hooks, chunky guitars and sheer joy to rock out to. From "Gold Digger" with its quirky low-key verse to the catchy "Too Little Too Late," Lee's songs will stay in your head and keep you coming back for more. A native of Chicago, Lee released his first solo album “Walk A Mile In My Shoes” in 1998 on Bubblehaus Records. In 2002 Kevin released the critically acclaimed CD “Loaded” on Chicago-based Big Blast Records. In 2006 Lee released “Flip the Switch” on Sigus Records. Co-producing with producer/engineer Josh Shapera brought a new modern rock edge to Lee’s songs. In 2010 Lee released “Dusk Till Dawn” on Sigus Records featuring his trademark songwriting with big hooks, chunky guitars, and melodies that can't be forgotten. The song “Time Won't Stand Still” hit #1 at WMWX in Cincinnati, Ohio. Lee was voted best new artist by Fireworks Magazine UK in 2007, toured as opening act playing multiple 20,000 plus seat arenas for REO, Cheap Trick, Pearl Jam, Lou Gramm, and Matthew Sweet. reviews -

If *Kevin Lee & The Kings* ..already sound familiar, that’s because the leader was previously in charge of The Lonesome City Kings, who were once inked to MCA. As a guitar-charged rocker that falls somewhere between Lenny Kravitz and Cheap Trick wrapped around the production of Rick Barnes (Smashing Pumpkins, George Clinton), he’s far above the typical indie act and continually connects with gusty ditties.

*FLIP THE SWITCH - © 2006 Sigus Records* Singer/guitarist Kevin Lee is still performing at full power on the aptly titled Flip The Switch. An experienced power pop composer, he packs each of these 10 songs with hooks, and he has the pipes to put them across. Former Thrift Store Halo guitarist Brent Seatter helps fuel the energetic tracks like "Built To Burn" and "She's On Fire." "Won't Shed A Tear," one of Lee's better slow tunes, recalls Electric Light Orchestra. *- Terrence Flamm/Illinois Entertainer*

** Are there anybody out there that remembers Kevin Lee and the Lonesome City Kings that released a album called "Restless" in the early 90?s. Well now Kevin?s is back with a brand new solo album that is filled with great high-quality melodic Midwestern pop/rock with touches of AOR of in the veins of Cheap Trick, Matchbox Twenty and Nelson. The album opens up with a fantastic rocker a?la Cheap Trick called "Where Do We Go From Here", this song has great guitar riffs mixed with brilliant hooklines and melodies that hits you right away. This song gives you a hint what this album is all about. The mid-tempo song "Find A Way" with some Beatles influences mixed with Nelson and sounds great, it has almost a balladish feel over it. One of the highlights on the album is the romantic ballad "Right Here With Me", this is a wonderful song with superb vocals. This is a modern AOR ballad with class. The straight-ahead rocker "Down" is pure melodic rock heaven.This songs has it all, monster hooks, catchy chorus and guitars that won?t keep you sit still. The word is AWESOME. "Without You" is a great acoustic ballad in the best Nelson style. "Shameless" is a heavier pop/rock tune in the same vein as "Down", the chorus is a winner. This is a great modern rock song that should please any fan of the modern rock field. This is a album filled with crunching guitars, catchy hooklines, superb vocals from Mr. Lee and last but not least the melodies are all over this album. If you into the modern pop/rock world then "Loaded" is a album you should check out right away. Many of the songs has radio written all over them.
