Kingdom Collapse's sound is melodic, heavy riff-based modern metal with a catchy rock twist, combining the heavy elements of metal with the dynamics and emotion of rock. On "Payback," Kingdom Collapse stays true to their elements of heavy-hitting guitar riffs and catchy melodies. Says singer Jonathan Norris, "Payback is a true anthem for the underdog. The person that has always turned the other cheek. The person that has always kept their mouth shut." Kingdom Collapse is currently working on new material with Ted Bruner (Three Days Grace, Katy Perry, Hinder), which is scheduled for release in the new year. Kingdom Collapse amassed over one million YouTube views and over 200,000 Spotify streams with their 2018 single, "Suffer."

Icons at Badassery by James Lamb Remy
This month Icons At Badassery would like to honor "The Dope Show," a tribute to Marilyn Manson. Original members from local Houston include ERASE THE VIRUS's Alex Slay(drums), Mangy James(bass), Jeff Smith(guitar), and Eddie Epoc (keyboards). They started The Dope Show as a way to not only celebrate the music of Marilyn Manson, but to give fans of Marilyn Manson easier access to an exhilarating and incredible live show of the likes they haven't seen. They added former Zombie Face frontman singer Kevin Leazot to finish the lineup. The band has done some very big things and continues to do so. They have been playing to large crowds at places such as the House Of Blues Houston & Dallas, and White Oak Music Hall, as well as playing multiple venues in and around Texas. They are continually looking to expand their performance base. Their performances will leave you in awe and wanting more! Keep your eyes peeled for The Dope Show. You won't want to miss it! The Dope Show Rocked out Scout Bar on Oct 31st, Houston, TX. One of their upcoming shows is Cine El Ray theatre on Jan 11th in McAllen TX. Their website is http://m.me/THEDOPESHOWTX. It is with great honor to entitle The Dope Show Icons At Badassery! Thank you for your hard work.
This month Icons At Badassery would also like to honor the local music
scene's own "Khris Harding! Born and raised in Houston, Tx, Khris
has been in the music industry for over16 years. He began with Thomas Wilson
and The Scout Bar. Khris started as a bouncer, then moved up the ladder
to stage manger and public relations and is still rocking it there. He was
also stage manager for the Houston Zombie Walk a few years back, and handled
booking and running the stage for the 501 charity group. Khris started
working with Jason DuPuis and Chris Calderas from Punkstarindustries.com
about 7 years ago, booking bands for their local show, to even promoting
their clothing line. They did an interview with local Live Houston for an
event, and quickly caught the urge to have there own local show. The Punkstar
Full Throttle was born. Khris was there at the time it had started and
was doing body suspension with a group called AGRO. After a short time
Khris was brought on by Jason and Kristen of the show Punkstar Full Throttle
to do an interview on body suspension for the community. Shortly after
that time he was running a group called Agro Sideshow, and doing live performances
around the area as well as in a few shows out of town along with bands.
Khris was added as a full-time radio host for Punkstar Full Throttle.
Moving the show to Scout Bar, Khris had full control of stage, lights, and
sound. Thomas gave Punkstar every Wednesday to showcase local talent. Khris
has been there now for over 6 years doing the show. His endeavors had got
him to M/C local shows at BFE, Acadia, Scout Bar, Fitzgerald's, Numbers,
Spire, and most venues in Houston area. This past year he started working
with his mentor, Outlaw Dave from 9:50 AM - KPRC, Houston's oldest radio
station, where Khris is on his show two to three times a week at different
venues around town. Now, Dave and Khris have a residency at The Wildcatter
Saloon, with Outlaw Dave working with John J Janatsch and Second Chance
Productions, which Khris has been a part of for almost 2 years. Khris is
sponsored by Junker Designs, Kemah Shot Bar, The Outlaw Dave Show, Embassy
Skateboards. Khris is also hosting an event at this year's Lone Star
Rally and four days at the Galveston Shop Bar. Khris has worked with many
bands over the years. He managed Erase The Virus, The Hunger, and is the
