The Fat Angel Sings

London quartet and Dirty Hit signees King Nun have more raw energy in one fingertip than most alternative rock bands these days have in their entire bodies. Though there’s no debut album to speak of yet, tracks like “Hung Around”, “Sponge” and “Speakerface” display a level of excitement and grit that mainstream rock often lacks. The band got signed a few years ago when they were just teenagers, and after hearing their stop-start, blues-rock stomper, “Hung Around,” there’s no question their label made the right call. King Nun toured with labelmates Superfood and Pale Waves and scored a slot at last year’s Reading and Leeds festival, so there’s a lot of momentum behind this band. Word on the street is that they have an EP set for release this year.
