The Prom Kings were a Los Angeles rock band formed in 2001, and their first single, "Alone", started turning up on American rock radio in January 2005, months ahead of their self-titled debut, which came out that August on the independent Three Kings DBC label. It's big, brooding post-grunge radio rock, all crunching guitars and a chorus that aims straight for the back of the arena, and "Bleeding" works the same heavy, anguished groove.
Chris Carney was the voice out front, and he later turned up on the MTV show twentyfourseven. A second single, "Black Gold", followed on December 26, 2006. Not everyone was won over: AllMusic's review found the album bland and faceless. Carney died in December 2015 from injuries he suffered in a traffic accident. He was 35.
