The King Blues - Under The Fog
The King Blues - Lets Hang The LandlordThe King Blues - 19 Things You Didn't Know! Plus Biography
As Itch explains: "The album tells the story of a protester who falls in love on the frontline, has his heart broken, gets into drugs, then comes out of it in the end realizing that ultimately he is nothing without love. The over-riding theme then is: 'love conquers all'."
Save The World, Get The Girl certainly reflects the evolution of a band who have gone from being threatened with ASBOs for guerrilla performances at Canary Wharf and Westminster to shows at Wembley Arena. These days they're viewing the bigger picture - and searching for solutions. "Initially we just wanted to be a soundtrack for the movement but now we feel that we have explored our art and opened our hearts," says Itch. "As a result, our political ideas carry a lot more weight now."
With a nod to the Dead Kennedys, the album was preceded by lead single Let's Hang The Landlord, released as a split single with Flobots back in August. If Under The Fog was The King Blues' equivalent of White Riot (raw, energized, unstoppable) then this track is their Stay Free (soulful, introspective, autobiographical).
