I’ve finally found a band so utterly fantastic, they’re fit for royalty. So remember; you heard it here first! King Charles is a West London group of misfits steadily rising through the ranks at the moment in small gigs around London, but it’s their post-alternative hippy frontman (named Charles) that really cements it’s arty brilliance and sets the band apart from anything else out there at the moment. More poet than singer, the Russell Brand lookalike recites folk pop verses and heartfelt lyrics in a near King Blues style, before effortlessly venturing into elements of Punk and even Electronica, and this is just in one single song! Versatile and exciting they shared early gigs with Two Door Cinema Club before they found commercial success, so it’s only a matter of time before these guys get their fair share of success and become HUGE. A spot on Glasto’s BBC Introducing Stage last year and their first major tour in America in a mere matter of weeks will undoubtably raise the hype and get people talking. Expect the debut album early 2011, by then they’ll definitely be reigning with iron fist.

Finally getting to see King Charles tomorrow in London. 

A rare case of a tipped artist actually living up to its potential.
