Outfitted with lived-in and loud vintage gear, shaped equally by 21st century alternative and classic rock, and proudly born in New York City, King Falcon rev up raw and raucous anthems with attitude and a whole lot of emotion. The quartet—Michael Rubin [vocals, lead guitar], Joe Conserva [bass],Justin Kosisky [guitar], and Dipayan “Dip” Chakraborty [drums]—boldly break boundaries both in the studio and on stage. In between spending hours with a guitar in-hand, Michael obsessed over classic records by Steely Dan and Led Zeppelin in addition to Tame Impala’s Currents. The Queens native attended School of Rock for years and eventually founded his first projectInoculated Canaries, stirring up local buzz, touring, and landing on radio airwaves. Progressing as a singer and guitarist, he officially launched King Falcon in 2020. Blown away by demos, Mascot Label Group signed the King Falcon in the middle of the Global Pandemic without even meeting them in-person or seeing them live. The group’s self--titled debut, King Falcon, arrived during 2023. It racked up north of 2 million streams on Spotify fueled by “ReadySet Go,” “Cadillac,” and “Everybody’s Down.” Including unanimous critical applause, mxdwn hailed them as “Best New Artist 2023,” and Guitar World christened them “one of NYC’s most exciting indie-rock bands.” Meanwhile, they packed houses at headline gigs in addition to performing alongside everyone from Des Roc to Sublime With Rome. Now, the musicians sharpen a scorching signature style on a series of 2024 singles and their forthcoming second full-length album for Mascot.
