Rock Monsters Romania

On June 16, the American band Dropout Kings will take the stage at Quantic Club for the first time, bringing the energy and sounds of nu-metal and rapcore from Phoenix, Arizona.

Formed in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2016, Dropout Kings is known for its fusion of heavy metal and the progressive rhythms of hip-hop and trap. The band was founded by vocalist Adam Ramey, who recruited rapper Eddie Wellz after seeing a video of him on YouTube. The band’s name refers to the idea of “dropping out” of the status quo and following one’s own path in life. Their music addresses themes of struggle, perseverance, and self-improvement, with introspective and motivational lyrics.

The American band has received numerous awards and nominations, including recognition from the Recording Academy in the “Best New Artist” category for the 2022 Grammy Awards and “Alternative Rock Band of the Year” in 2019 presented by AZMT Music Awards. Their single “Virus” reached number 33 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Radio Charts and stayed in the Top 40 for 12 weeks in 2021.

They have collaborated with numerous brands and influencers, including a collaboration with a NASCAR driver and MC Futuristic. They also have close ties with Stay Sick Records and Fronzilla from Attila. Dropout Kings is one of the few bands to have signed a collaboration with Napalm Records before having their first concert.

Opening Acts:

Two significant bands from the Romanian metal scene will open the show: W3 4R3 NUM83R5 and MOODY-FI.

W3 4R3 NUM83R5 has proudly represented the local metalcore scene since 2014. Through tenacity and musical strength, the band has organically gained its audience. Energetic concerts, rhythmic compositions, brutal breakdowns complemented by discrete electronic elements offer the audience a memorable experience. With one album released in 2018 and several official music videos, the band is currently working on new tracks to be released as singles, some accompanied by music videos, which will later be grouped on a new album set for release in October 2024.

MOODY-FI is a fresh rapcore fusion band with maximum potential, influenced by punk, rock, funk, indie, and hip-hop. The band was formed in Bucharest in 2020 as a result of searching for new experiences during the pandemic. The band’s goal is to combine as many diverse musical elements as possible and create a bridge between the rock and rap communities in Romania, spreading a positive and constructive message.
