1) A Three-piece Punkband from the Netherla… Read Full Bio ↴There are 3 bands called PK:
1) A Three-piece Punkband from the Netherlands, formed in 1999 or 2000. The name comes from the dutch name for Peanutbutter.
2) || NOW KNOWN AS NIGHT RIOTS || Long time friends and members of multiple local bands, PK formed for both the sheer joy of playing music and at the same time to help strengthen the weakening scene in their hometown of San Luis Obispo, CA. In 2007 PK recorded a five song EP entitled Casting Shadows at Green bean Studios in Sunland, CA. With the strength of this EP, PK established a strong following in Central and Northern California. Working completely for themselves, the members of PK created many tight relationships with bands, fans and promoters alike. From San Jose to San Francisco to San Luis Obispo, PK draws more new fans each time they return to a city. At the beginning of 2009 PK returned to Green Bean to record a three song demo. Currently released online and through burned CDs passed out at shows, these three songs have already opened up PK’s market to a much wider audience. Now not only do the original, “teen to twenties” fans still enjoy the music but PK has been able to find an audience in their fans’ parents as well. With a much more cohesive and marketable sound these three songs show much promise for what’s to come. The band will return to the studio in mid-August to record five more songs that will be combined with the previous three to create a six-song “half-length” leaving two songs to be released later. After the completion of the record, PK will begin weekend tours, strategically playing areas in northern, southern and eastern California, quickly building markets all over the state. Equipped with a newly purchased van and trailer, and the strength of the new songs PK will be touring from now until forever.
3)Estonian musician who is known as one of the most diverse artists in Estonia as his music ranges from new-school hiphop, emo, euro-trance, hyperpop, acoustic indie rock to pop-punk. He is the founder of the "Parema elu nimel" movement in Estonia, which advocates the right to spiritual freedom without prejudice regardless of personal status or interests.
PK has released several english and estonian albums under Chainz Records, Masterhead Records and independently.
His album "Wet Dreams & 911 Calls" was voted the 14th best hip-hop album in Estonia in 2021.
He started making music as a battlerapper in 2004 and at the age of 16 was invited to an invite-only freestyle battle event held at Õllesummer - one of the biggest summerfestivals in Estonia.
While always incorporating elements from other genres in his music, PK is mainly known as a hip-hop pioneer as he was one of the first artists in Estonia to start making new-school hip-hop and trap in the early 2010s.
4) Undergound rapper, singer, and producer. Pk (typically stylized as "pk") is affiliated with the hyperpop/digicore scene and has produced for artists such as reefuh, jahhlu, riptony, and more. pk's influence has spread all throughout the scene due to the sheer amount of songs he has produced.

Nineteen by the light of the room
Luggage up above our beds
I jolt and sway 'til I reach you
Tangled up are two legs
Two legs, two legs
Tangled up our two legs
It takes me back to my hometown
My first kiss down under oak trees
Does it take you back to your chateaux?
Or Marseilles, down on the seaside
It takes me back to my hometown
When you kiss me, I feel the whole train shake
It takes you back to your chateaux
I wanna hold this in
Ginger Ale on the plane
I'll wake you up when we get there
I change my mind, but you don't complain
I can't help when I miss you
American boy starts to feel it
Do you feel it? Do you feel it, too?
American boy, isn't it strange?
Isn't it strange, this ain't the same.
It takes me back to my hometown
My first kiss down under oak trees
It takes you back to your chateaux
Or Marseilles, down on the seaside
It takes me back to my hometown
When you kiss me, I feel the whole plane burn
It takes you back to your chateaux
I wanna hold this in
Cuz it ain't ever felt like this I swear
I ain't fooling, yeah, you floored me
Oh I ain't ever had a kiss like yours
Cuz it ain't ever felt like this I swear
I ain't fooling, yeah, you floored me
I ain't ever had a kiss like yours
American boy you're just dreaming
Cuz it ain't ever felt like this I swear
I ain't fooling, yeah, you floored me
I ain't ever had a kiss like yours
I'm drunk still, I'm drunk still
The lyrics of PK's song "London" depict a couple who reminisces about their past while traveling together on a train towards the city of London. The opening verse sets the scene on the train with the singer hearing the sound of the rushing rail and feeling the movement of the train as they think about reaching their destination.
The second verse becomes a reflection on memories of the past as the couple thinks about their hometowns and places where they shared intimate moments. The couple feels a strong connection with each other as they kiss, and it feels like the whole train shakes. They want to hold onto this moment, almost as if they want to preserve it forever.
The chorus of the song repeats how the couple is taken back to their hometowns when they kiss, and the sense of nostalgia is all-encompassing. The bridge of the song brings up the perspective of an "American boy" who feels a similar sense of strong emotion but can't quite understand it.
Overall, the song's lyrics capture the feeling of intense nostalgia mixed with a sense of excitement and hope for the future. The train becomes a metaphor for moving toward new experiences, while the memories of the past remain vivid and powerful.
