Kane is an American country rock, southern rock,^[1] and Americana band that was formed in 1998 in Los Angeles, California fronted by actor Christian Kane and disbanded in 2004. The band has released two successful independent albums and has toured both the U.S. and Europe.

Kane was formed in 1998 by Christian Kane, Steve Carlson, and Michael Eaton.

Kane worked with some of the most talented and creative studio and session musicians in the business^[who?]. The band gathered a following and was voted the winner of the 2005 Country Thunder Young Guns Contest, was voted one of L.A.'s 100 Hottest Unsigned Bands by industry magazine Music Connection, and Rock City News and E Media Wire Service described them as "Killer."^{[citation needed]}

The band played to good reviews at venues such as the Viper Room, King King, Ivar, Universal Citywalk, the Warner Bros. Sizzlin’ Country fundraiser and around the Southern California area.^{[citation needed]} Despite somewhat limited touring, Kane’s self-released debut CD sold over 4,500 copies in the US, with almost half those copies selling in countries as far away as Malaysia, Germany, Australia and Brazil.^{[citation needed]}

The band's song "The Chase" appeared on the soundtrack of the 2003 film Just Married.^[2]

In 2004, Christian signed as a songwriter with EMI Nashville. The band name Kane was abandoned, instead backing Christian Kane as a solo artist.^{[citation needed]}
