Mid-December, credible singles tend to fade into icy cold acoustic affairs in a reflective mood. Not The K’s! Blasting out of the traps with a rip-roaring solo, they set December ablaze with their brand of rock ‘n’ roll.
Guitarist Ryan Breslin taps into The Rifles’ Lucas Crowther as he pummels the senses with infectious and aggressive licks. Every time Breslin steps forward on this record, a frenzy follows. The Pistols-esque solo alongside the crashing drums is enough to believe the second coming has already happened!
Like all great frontmen, Jamie Boyle is never overshadowed. His humble tale of regret allows us, mortals, a way into their iconic sonic. His innate ability to deliver rapid-fire lyrics is the perfect accompaniment to the colossal noise of their gang mentality.
With Father Christmas watching over you. Don’t be naughty, get on this record!
