剛果樂隊（通常稱呼為KONGOS）是南非的另類搖滾樂隊組成的四兄弟：約翰尼（手風(fēng)琴，鍵盤，聲樂），杰西（鼓，打擊樂，人聲），丹尼爾（吉他，主唱）和迪倫Kongos（低音吉他，圈滑棒吉他，主唱），他們的歌曲"Come with Me Now"是電影敢死隊3的配樂。

從藝歷程：The band's sophomore album Lunatic was released in 2012. Kongos's single "I'm Only Joking", from their album Lunatic, topped various South African charts, including all three of Tuks FM's charts, and received copious airtime on 5FM and on many other stations in South Africa. The music video for the song debuted on TV 5 on SABC 3 and was in rotation on MKTV. Their second single "Come with Me Now" was in rotation on both 5FM and Tuks FM. The song appeared on the 5FM Top 40 and the Tuks FM Top 30 charts.

In late October 2013, the band self-released Lunatic in the United States. In 2014, both "I'm Only Joking" and "Come with Me Now" began receiving noticeable exposure in the United States, gaining momentum in airplay on radio and being featured in television commercials there. Their song "Come with Me Now" was used as the official theme song for WWE's pay-per-view event Extreme Rules and in the motion picture The Expendables 3. As a result, the band was signed by Epic Records in late January 2014 and the band re-released Lunatic. "Come with Me Now" had sold more than 70,000 copies as of March 2014, but has since been certified Platinum by the RIAA, signifying sales of more than a million copies.
