The K's - I Wonder If The World Knows? -
Straight outta St Helens with a debut album that packs a punch
Seven years after their breakout anthem Sarajevo The K's have been touring hard and honing their sound on the road and their song writing talent. Now they have delivered their highly anticipated debut album "I Wonder If The World Knows?"
Living up to the hype, the album is a powerful mix of indie, pop-punk, and rock that showcases the band's growth and musical prowess.
Anthems and Deep Dives
The album seamlessly blends new tracks with fan favorites from their earlier EPs.
Chancer, Hometown, Heart On My Sleeve and Throw It All Away are instant, potent, powerful anthems! Full of wordsmith, working class lyrics any wayward adolescent past or present could relate to.
Hoping Maybe and Lights Go Down offer tender moments, with such heartfelt lyrics and vocals.
Lights go down in particular hits home with the beautiful piano driving a taut and tender track with Jamie Boyle’s vocals hitting beautifully. This song is about the contrasts of loving life on the road and back home, the drums and guitar arrive at the 2.34 mark and they sound sublime.
Tracks like "Icarus" and "Circles" retain the energetic, guitar-driven sound that made The K's a name to watch.
Cohesive and Captivating
There's not a weak song on the album. The K's expertly balance high-octane anthems with heartfelt moments, creating a cohesive listening experience that keeps you engaged throughout. This is an album that will be on repeat for weeks.
Big Stage Ready
The ambition of the album is undeniable. With its powerful vocals, tight musicianship, and soaring melodies, "I Wonder If The World Knows?" feels destined for massive stages and we won’t have too long to wait!
The band will hit Kendal Calling, The Isle of Wight, Reading and Leeds, supporting The Blossoms at Whythie Park and the small matter of headlining Brid Spa for This Feeling By The Sea before autumn arrives!
This is a band about to break out, and this album is the perfect launchpad.
