UK band, The K’s, are starting 2024 strong as they release their remarkable new single titled “No Place Like Home.”
The track has a full on energy that is simply contagious. The power of the instrumentation can be felt pounding deep into you chest before travelling all the way down to your toes. Band members Jamie Boyle and Ryan Breslin wrote the track before the band then recorded it fully with producer Gareth Nuttall, who has worked with the likes of; The Lottery Winners, Frank Turner, and Dirty Blonde. On the track, The K’s explain;
“No Place Like Home is a story of the weekly occurrence of anxiety and panic attacks every Sunday. Starting with an initial feeling of confusion as to why your body feels like it’s fighting to survive closely followed by the panic that sets in as you retrace your steps through the night before. The dreaded “beer fear” and financial hardship that makes you promise you’ll never do it again – only to do the exact same the weekend after. The song constantly battles to try and find balance between the temporary tranquillity that comes with being intoxicated and the harsh reality of the longer term effects it has on both physical and mental health.”
The single was released alongside a music video that was directed by Geoff Owens. The guys wanted to ensure that the energy and fast-paced vibe translates into the video – and this is something they succeeded with ease. The video shows the members dancing around the streets with not a care in the world, implying that music is their form of escapism. On the video, guitarist Ryan Breslin explains;
“We wanted to try capturing the energy of the track live as well as through the reaction of people listening to it and the young lad bouncing round his town to his favourite tune has done this perfectly.”
Fellow band member Geoff added;
“This concept presents an exciting visual opportunity, allowing us to showcase the band’s mastery while authentically conveying their live essence, both through an electrifying performance and visceral experience for the listener.”
“No Place Like Home” gives us only a snippet of what’s to come as the band prepare for the release of their upcoming album “I Wonder If The World Knows” – due to be released on the 22nd of March! The album is now available to pre-order here, and has already seen an overwhelming amount of popularity as thousands have rushed to pre-order Vinyl, Cassette, CD and all digital platforms.
