Biography

Redlight King is a Canadian-American rock band formed in Hamilton, Ontario by Mark “Kaz” Kasprzyk in 2009. They have toured around the world playing some of the largest festivals in North America and Europe. Known as a band’s band, their sound has a timeless rock pulse with a heavy groove and anthemic hooks. The newest album “In Our Blood” is what Kaz calls a straight ahead rock record, which he wrote and produced in Los Angeles, California. “Nothing was sacrificed in making this record, these songs were very thought out and careful details went into the arrangements, but the actual recording was honest and authentic” says Kaz. Without a doubt, his new album brings the human spirit back into rock n roll. Kasprzyk made news in 2011 for his success in securing permission from Neil Young to allow him to sample Young's 1972 song, "Old Man". The song was featured on the debut album Something for the Pain. It peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Alternative Songs and Number 26 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks. Redlight King's most successful song and second single off Something for the Pain, "Bullet in My Hand", peaked at numbers 3 and 28 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and Alternative Songs charts, respectively. Their music has also been featured in such films as The Italian Job, Draft Day, soundtracks on Iron Man 3 and The Avengers, television shows such as Person of Interest, as well as having songs licensed to ESPN, NASCAR, NFL, CFL, NHL, NBA, and MLB.
