Pontypridd 5-piece, Peasant’s King, share part of their rock lineage with the likes of Funeral For A Friend, Kids In Glasshouses and The Blackout, but add soulful grit and chiming guitars to the mix.
They’re a pre-ironic, less bombastic U2 through a fuzzbox; The Killers if Brandon Flowers had been brought up in Ponty; War On Drugs, on Brains bitter.
Mostly, of course, they are themselves, as stirringly demonstrated on their two EP’s so far - ‘Kingdom’ and ‘Four Walls Are Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’. ‘Antidotes’ from Four Walls At Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ earned a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Introducing slot on the Radio 1 playlist, receiving plays from Fearne Cotton, Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens, Greg James and Scott Mills. The band played the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Introducing Stage at the 2013 Reading Festival and have supported the likes of Catfish & the Bottlemen, Gabrielle Aplin and Twin Atlantic.
Throughout April 2015, they will be embarking on their first UK tour supporting the hotly-tipped Young Kato.
Their singer, Dan Lafrombé Evans, so nearly ended up going in a completely different direction. Until a bad injury when he was 16, his prodigious abilities in rugby, basketball, swimming, football and martial arts, had led those who knew him to believe a career in sport was inevitable.
Sport’s loss has been music’s gain.
