Artist History From different worlds collide the members of Corruption Is King. It was late 2001 in Austin, TX and a new collaboration slowly found its voice. Hardcore, punk, noise, sludge, straight up rock, pop all having their hand in the influence and history. The result is melody backed by collective decades of focus, noise, intensity, sweat, tours and tears turned savory song oriented history in the making. The noise put on the back burner -brought out only in moderation- and melody in full effect, this unit of rock steady players gets to the heart of "big and solid" while forging a new path without forgetting how they got there.
