ALBUM DESCRIPTION

'It's no wonder they're known as one of the UK's hottest new bands.' - musicaloccupation.com

New Town Kings are a 9 piece Ska/Reggae band from Colchester, Essex.

They take there influences from classic Ska, the Punk and Two Tone era and blend it all with their own unique, energetic sound.

Since starting to gig in December 2005 they have set on fire clubs,pubs and festivals around the country with their blistering live show.

'Never have I felt such warmth emanating from the stage, and never before have I seen it being so enthusiastically reflected back to the musicians' - http://www.noizemakesenemies.co.uk

In 2007 New Town Kings won the grand final of O'Neill's Undiscovered Live competition, which was held at the Islington academy and hosted by Radio 1's Colin Murray.

'New Town Kings were great live, they were the best audience pleasers and are made to play live gigs' - Colin Murray

Also in 2007 they gained a distribution deal with Do The Dog records for their self financed debut album 'SOUND OF THE NEW TOWN'

'This uplifting debut is a complete gem and one of my records of the year so far.' - distortedmagazine.com

'I love this CD passionately and think that it will soon assume classic status.' - neverwillchange.com

With a new studio recording in the pipeline and an ever expanding list of gig dates, the future promises to be bright for the New Town Kings. Go and see them play - NOW!!! (And buy the cd please)
