PULL OUT KINGS started in 2007 as a series of late-nite jam sessions featuring Z.Marr of COMBICHRIST, and Zach Solem and Ben Thomas of SLOWEARTH.

In search of a "ridiculous diversion" from their "extra serious" music, these sessions found Z., Zach, Ben, and whoever happened to be at their studio that night getting chemically enhanced and tweaking knobs until the sun came up. The resulting bass and beat driven tracks showed potential, but were put aside for future use, and in typical producer-workaholic fashion, forgotten about.

Two years later, Z. and Z. revisited the sessions following a long night in the studio, and discovered the foundation for a whole new project. A moment of female inspiration yielded an instantly memorable name (thanks Tara!), and soon after things started moving a lot more quickly.

Having composed the initial group of demos, Z. and Z. felt they needed a little extra flavor to level-up the tracks and recruited local lunatic MC Penivek Arcade (CRASH LAB ENTERTAINMENT) for his spit and swagger.

The group released their debut EP JUST THE TIP on January 24th 2012 on their own GZK imprint and are in the process of preparing tracks for a series of upcoming singles to be released through 2013 and a new EP/LP for 2014.

POK has remixed tracks by diverse artists including RAMMSTEIN ("Du Hast"), IAMX ("Great Shipwreck of Life"), SKOLD ("Tonight"), COMBICHRIST ("Scarred"), AESTHETIC PERFECTION ("Devil's in the Details"), IMPERATIVE REACTION ("Surface"), and many others. Z. and Z. are constantly looking for new ways of weaving their particular brand of electro into their peers' music, regardless of preconceived genre bias.

The future is a BRIGHT, SHINING, LOUD and FUN thing, and POK aims to make the beautiful music and F**K THE SH*T OUT OF IT!
