New City Kings
WE SAY
Despite only forming in 2013, New City Kings have already built up one hell of a buzz around them. There was a sold-out show at London's Borderline late last year, promoting their excellent debut single Swords & Cannonballs, which was picked for a national online video campaign by the mighty Vevo. Prior to that, Bestival curators Josie & Rob DaBank chose the band for their Replay Stage (alongside Nina Nesbitt, Sam Smith, The 1975 and London Grammar, no less). Pete Mitchell at Absolute Radio is just one of a number of early supporters of the lads. Promoters of Ontario's Indie Week Festival spotted them performing in Dublin and immediately booked them to play in Canada, leading to other shows at SXSW and Brownstock too. There's a gig at London's Koko on 7 March, supporting Room 94. This title track to their first-ever EP is cool & confident, melodic, radio friendly rock with a instant hook, like Foo Fighters at the top of their game. We reckon we're seeing the early days of something very big indeed right here. It's expertly produced, all superbly executed and big enough to fill a packed-out festival tent this summer.
