Production wunderkind Tarek Musa leads his charges of Peter Darlington, James Green and Andrew Morton out on the road this September, bringing to life Spring King’s darker, more anthemic offerings from the new EP. If lead track “Demons” is anything to go by – a song recorded in the pitch black as the band pioneer ‘Method recording’ – these shows will bear witness to the bands personal battle of will, juxtaposed with the energetic instrumentation of “uplifting tempos that make you want to shake”.
Recorded in the soon to be legendary bathroom studios, this EP showcases the live furore of the band’s show – bringing to mind the ambition of Funeral era Arcade Fire, with the pure Garage punk of The Reatards and a shared passion for Bossanova. Spring King are an exhilarating prospect live; full of boisterous energy and the clattering swagger of youth, frontman/drummer Tarek leading the party whilst the rest of his gang “jolt around at the front of the stage like they’re being tasered by the anti-party police”. It is no surprise that the NME have dubbed Spring King one of the top ten new bands of 2014.
Catch Spring King live this September in support of the Demons EP released 8th September on Paradyse.
