New Video from No More Kings - Sweep The Leg

Astonish Records is announcing the release of the self titled debut album from No More Kings on March 6th, 2007 with the video for their first single entitled "Sweep the Leg." The song was written from the perspective of Johnny from the "The Karate Kid" and the video features the original cast, including the actors who portrayed Johnny, the Cobra Kai, the Sensei and even Ralph Macchio -

"No More Kings is for anyone who's ever wanted a talking car." - Pete Mitchell

No More Kings, the self-titled first major release, is a positive, upbeat, party-in-a-box, full of pop culture references and quirky lyrics.

"This album is very character-driven, very story-based," Pete says. A trait he learned as an animator that has carried over into his songwriting is communicating a character's core to an audience. In "Sweep the Leg," for example, Pete digs into the head of Johnny, Daniel-san's nemesis in The Karate Kid, and presents a new way of looking at the story.

Mitchell calls No More Kings' first album a "thank-you letter to the 80s," a perfect theme for someone who says that he (and his music) were "born in the 70s, raised in the 80s, and perfected in the 90s."
