Listen up, folks, ’cause The K’s are more than just a band – they’re a force of nature. In the blink of a year, Jamie Boyle on vocals/rhythm guitar, Ryan Breslin shredding on lead guitar, Dexter Baker holding it down on bass, and Nathan Peers banging the drums have taken the UK by storm. Sold-out tours, Royal Albert Hall, and rubbing shoulders with Liam Gallagher – these lads from sunny Earlestown are on fire.
Their gigs? It’s not just a show; it’s a riot, a chaotic symphony of sound that’ll leave you breathless. But don’t let the madness fool you; behind it all is a sophistication that’s uniquely The K’s. Take their debut single “Sarajevo” – a rock & roll anthem that name-checks Austro-Hungary, casually racking up over 4 million streams like it’s a walk in the park.
Pulling into Bristol’s Marble Factory last Friday we gained a brief taste of what’s to come in their upcoming UK headline tour next spring, coinciding with the drop of their highly anticipated debut album, ‘I Wonder If The World Knows,’ hitting the streets on March 22nd. Trust me; you’ll want that date marked on your calendar.
The setlist? Pure indie gold. From the first chords of “Picture This” to the phone-illuminating anthem “Hoping Maybe,” The K’s are building a repertoire that’s worth its weight in gold bars. And get this – fans are belting out deep cuts like “Glass Towns” and “Home Town” word-perfect, proving these lads have burrowed deep into hearts and minds.
And as the night wraps with the epic “Sarajevo,” you’re left hanging on the edge of your seat, knowing that 2024 is gonna be a year for the history books. These lads – Jamie, Ryan, Dexter, and Nathan – have everything in their arsenal to conquer everything before them.
