Tampa-based alternative rock band Kings & Culprits were founded in 2016 by Alexander Attir, Chad Shultz, and Jeff Seaman. The trio worked at blending their gritty rock style with modern production and carefully crafted songwriting. The band garnered local attention with the release of their 2016 EP "Know My Name" which borrowed its title from a song written by Alexander Attir in a previous band including the same members. Greed, the Single off the EP eventually landed the group a sync deal with California Label Indie Orange. The band spent 2017 honing their sound and writing in anticipation for a series of upcoming releases in 2018 .
