Devil's Spoke

holy cow

King Charles

I first met King Charles in London two years ago, while my brother was playing a gig on the Kings Road. My brother had said, that "some big indie guy" was playing. I didn't think much, and sat next to him the whole gig, until he stood up for his slot. His music blew me away, psychedelic-indie-folk with quick witty lyrics......
King Charles toured frequently with Laura Marling, Noah and the Whale, Mumford and sons, Andrew Balkwill and etc.
At the beginning of the year his debut single of "Time of Eternity" was released and remastered. With added "woohoos" , more instruments and better sound quality this newbie is killer indie anthem.
Time of Eternity:

King Charles recently released his Love Lust ep, a double A-side featuring Love Lust and Mr flick. With awesome lyrics and crazy riffs,
this ep again impresses.
Love lust with an almost spoken word chorus/intro/everything preaches to stay in a relationship, even if you want to be with someone else, as the love you have with the person is everlasting, while lust will fade like anger. Bit cheesy really, but its awesome.
Love Lust
Mr flick is a more punk/indie sounding track with "woohoos" to the extreme, and a larger focus upon synths. RRRock out.
Mr. Fick

take a listen to this psychedelic-indie-folk-punk-rock-god, it's genius.

Wish i stayed

you don't know why your crying. everything just seems a blur, like your walking through a thick fog. you miss your closest friend who is yet so far away. nothing seems to have a purpose, and who knows what you'll be doing next. where can, where should you be. you haven't found what you've been looking for, and needing to change. now talking to your talking to strangers, not your friends. but blue skies are coming

Mumford & Sons

FOLK
- Marcus(vocals,guitar), Winston(banjo), Ben(organ) and Ted(double bass).
- Formed in 2007.
- Good friends with Noah and the whale, Johnny flynn, King Charles+ Emmy the Great.
-Marcus plays along side genius Laura Marling in many of her gigs, Mumford and sons also act as the backing band for Laura Marling.
I saw these guys about 1 year ago supporting Laura Marling in a church in Bondon. They where unbelievable. Cause of the banjo, double bass and Marcus' vocal, Mumford and sons create a ominous haunting melancholic sound, which cannot be forgotten. They nearly blew Laura marling out of the water.
Listen to this song and imagine your in a church, then tell me it's shit hahaha.
