Album: Imperial Leisure – Death To The One Trick Pony

Imperial Leisure: London To Brighton
Imperial Leisure Death To The One Trick Pony Steamroller Ltd 26 March 2012 by Tom Doyle It's funny how sometimes one bands breakthrough into the relative mainstream can remind everyone of something that was always good but that has simply fallen out of fashion. The King Blues rise and rise has thrown a fresh light onto the UK's ska punk scene and kids are once again digging out their parents old Trojan Records box sets and embracing the brass. That can [...]

The King Blues - Does Anybody Care About Us? (Official Video)
Here's the new video from the King Blues for 'Does Anybody Care About Us', from their 'Punk and Poetry' album that Luke reviewed for us in April. The single will be released digitally on the 12th of February 2012. If one of the YouTube commenters is to believed, it was actually snowing/sleeting the day this was filmed in Manchester. (And here I was, thinking it was just all CGI effects...) Click here to view the embedded video.

1234 Shoreditch Festival Review

1234 Shoreditch Festival Review 9 July, 2011 I signed up to cover 1234 Shoreditch Festival almost as soon as I arrived in London about a month ago. The fact that I had heard of only a tiny clutch of the artists playing didn't matter to me at all. I was in London now. There was stuff happening. I had to be a part of that stuff. I'm pleased to report that my unbridled enthusiasm for big-city life paid off in my favour: 1234 is a perfectly sexy little number - a lot of fun, and a lot of [...]

the king blues: punk & poetry

the king blues: punk & poetry The King Blues' Punk & Poetry has been my favourite album of the past month. I just can't get enough of this unbelievably catchy and lyrically brilliant album. This is the best protest album I have heard in a long time. The open track, "Last Of The Dreamers" sets the album up perfectly: "...This is for the outcasts, the freaks and the schemers/This is for the last of the dreamers." What singer/writer Itch does so entertainingly well is his ability to include humour (often in a mocking fashion) to his serious subject matters—"Five Bottles Of Shampoo" [...]

Some new names, but plenty of familiar faces – Reading & Leeds Festival announce Lock Up Stage line-up

The Bronx - Knifeman
Last night (this morning?) on the Radio 1 Rock Show, Reading & Leeds Festivals confirmed the line-up for the Lock Up Stage - the two days of the festival where the third biggest stage is given over to punk. And despite us often joking among ourselves that it always seems to be 20 bands picked [...]

Guest Review: The King Blues

Guest Review: The King Blues The King Blues appearance at Soundclash was billed as an instore, but I got the feeling that it was always intended to be a performance as opposed to just a PR visit & record signing for the latest album Punk and Poetry . It was a clever and subversive way of bucking the city's performance licensing laws. With music firmly entrenched in the anti-establishment camp, The King Blues speak loudly and clearly to those with a social conscience. The 100 or so people gathered at one of the county's best independent [...]

Album Review: The King Blues – Punk & Poetry

Album Review: The King Blues – Punk & Poetry A lot has changed since 2008 when the King Blues released their second LP, 'Save The World, Get The Girl'. The country is now ruled by a new coalition government, student fees are at the dizzying amount of £9000 a year,and next month, the whole way we vote as a country could change. These events have led to the King Blues writing the passionate, and at times angry album, 'Punk & Poetry'. Whilst the country was slowly falling apart due to new governments, bankers, MP's expenses and cuts to services, the King [...]

Bands To Watch #208: The King Blues

The King Blues - Set The World On Fire (OFFICIAL VIDEO) Out April 10th
If you're a fan of the underground UK punk scene, you must surely be aware of the King Blues . The politically active ska punk five-piece have been skanking, protesting and chanting their way all over the world to deliver their message of unity and solidarity. Influenced by the likes of the Clash , Public Enemy and the Specials , the King Blues have been likened to bands such as Sonic Boom Six and the Skints . Their debut album 'Under The Fog' was released [...]

Brown + Blue = Sore Losers

Brown + Blue = Sore Losers With Blue (left) on the boards, and Brown on the mic, you get a hip-hop duo that deserves a top spot in the game. There's just something about Blue's versatile beats combined with Brown's flow and delivery that leaves you wanting more. Once the beat drops in "Solutions", you're gonna want to turn that volume up and bob your head to it. "Freeloaders: The Soundtrack" appeals to all listeners, whether you listen to Ratatat or get your fix on the dope beats and dope rhymes of hip-hop. "Solutions" - Sore Losers [...]
