Kill The Autocrat is a Hip-Hop/Rock band from Sudbury, Canada.

History
Kill The Autocrat originally consisted of 3 band members – Front man Michael O’Brien (Born 10/12/1980), Trevor Johnston (Born 06/24/78), and Scott Swain of Far from Heroes & Black Maria (Born 09/20/83) all hailing from Sudbury Ontario, Canada. The band works collaboratively to come up with the funky riffs and beats that compliment the serious yet “floetic” nature of their informatively controversial lyrics. Jason Raymond (Born 08/07/87) and Zach Pero (Born 02/24/83) were added later on to complete the line up in 2011.

Taking from true origins of hip hop, blues, rock and roll, and funk music; KTA uses catchy, powerful, crowd chanting choruses that capture the voices of angst and civil unrest in the world. With new age poetic intellectual lyrics from frontman OB, KTA is taking worldwide atrocities and delivering them in a way that is original, unique, and comprehendible by all listeners.

As the KTA front man, Michael O’Brien a.k.a “OB” quotes the music as “real music for real people.” OB began rapping 15 years ago, since which he has released three independent CD’s as a self taught songwriter and producer. OB was the first hip hop act ever to play the renowned Northern Lights Festival and Summerfest music festivals in his hometown of Sudbury. Organizing demonstrations, rallies, and large group assemblies are some of OB’s passions and pass-times. He regularly performs his hit single “One Day Longer” amongst thousands of people from Sudbury, extending all the way to Mexico City, Mexico. As a third generation miner, OB has been recently named a “raptivist” by community members for collaboration of his hip hop music and activism against global multinational corporations.
