Velocity Records Signs I Am King

Pennsylvania post-hardcore act I Am King has signed on with Velocity/Rise Records. The band recently self-released their self-titled EP earlier this year and are currently on track to release their follow up in early 2013.   Velocity Records founder Dave Shapiro comments on the signing:

“The first time I heard I Am King, I instantly knew there was something special about them.  I’ll never forget that first show i saw them at (Starland Ballroom).  I knew it wasn’t just studio magic, but that it was real.  What they had was authentic and genuine.  I see nothing but amazing things in their future.”

Co-vocalist Sam Sky gives the band’s perspective:

“From the beginning we had our eye on Velocity and now we have Dave Shapiro behind us along with Rise. It’s a dream come true for us. We’re really blessed and stoked to have this opportunity and to have such an awesome team behind us. Thank you to everyone who has supported us up until this point. We promise not to let you down”
