“Sharper than a Versace Suit.”

“The biggest, baddest swing band in the West.”
“There have been many young groups that have attempted digging up these vintage styles but too often the results feel cheesy... The Kings have the badge of authenticity. This is a band that lives and breathes its inspirations and is faithful to them. They are wonderful.”
“All hail the new kings of swing”.
- NO DEPRESSION MAGAZINE
“Dehlinger’s seedy trumpet fuels “Oh Marie” with the kind of dangerous edge that conjures vivid images of drunken speakeasies. Snappy drums and throbbing bass add a robust kick as soaring saxophones provide a breathtaking uplift. Dehlinger’s singing is magnetic. ”
“I was so excited to see Rob Dehlinger front his new band, the Alpha Rhythm Kings ... What a great group of musicians, with a great sound. Dancers take note...!”
“The Alpha Rhythm Kings are amazing!”
