The King Blues

Any fans? was expecting a thread on these already. Great band with three great albums,going to see them live tomorrow night, anyone seen them?

If you ain't heard them then check them out - The King Blues are a punk band from London, England, credited for fusing ska and folk together with influences from punk rock and hardcore punk.

Yeah I'm a fan, I've seen them about 5 times, I'm not as keen on the new album as the first 2 and itch is beginning to piss me off so I'm not as into them now, there live shows are really good though, but I preferred the old line up. Have fun though!

Got into them quite a bit a year or so ago, liked the first two albums, also like Punk and Poetry but it's a bit.....dunno. Catchy, maybe? His singing accent has changed, too, which is annoying.
I find some of the lyrics a bit childish, some of them a bit try-hard, but i'm still listening so can't knock them!

Great band. I don't understand the criticism of Punk & Poetry, think it's a great album from start to finish, political but energetic and some clever lyrics.

I saw them in August in Southend, and they were awesome. The sweatiest gig I've ever been to.

saw them a lot before they released the Household name version of Under The Fog. They've come a pretty long way since playing in places like Cowley Club or Engine Rooms in Brighton.

Wouldn't say i'm a big fan of them anymore but I still like to put on the first album every now and then for nostalgia value.

Yeah, I like them really much although I don`t know em for a long time...Holiday is my favourit song..

Just split up im devastated tbh, really big fan. will be releasing their last album "long live the struggle" in july.

The Tracklisting for their last album.

1. We Are The Future
2. Modern Life Has Let me Down
3. Wasted Words
4. Can't Bring Me Down (feat. Jason Butler)
5. Tear Us Apart
6. This Is My Home
7. Bootled Out Of Hell (feat. Tim Armstrong)
8. Walking Away
9. Power To The People
10. We Are What We Own
11. When The Revolution Comes
12. Keep The Faith

New album is a dissapointment for me. There are a few standout tracks- We Are The Future, We Are What We Own, Modern Life Has Let me Down and Power To The People, but there is loads of filler on it. On that basis I think it's a good idea that they're bowing out now. Then again, when I saw them live last year they were phenomenally good.
