Spring King and Tell Me If You Like To Debut Album & Tour Dates
About Spring King and Tell Me If You Like To...

With no desire to relinquish control, the album was recorded and produced by the band’s talisman Tarek Musa at Chapel Studios and mixed at the infamous bathroom / Bungalow Beach Studios.

It flips dark lyrical content with an uplifting and high tempo; being chaotic, yet bold, defined and driving to the end. The band and album possess a raw energy that tears its way through garage sensibilities, whilst combining pop felt melodies and leaving everything in its wake.

Possessing the same 100mph, blink-and-you-missed-it spirit as their early tracks, title track ‘Tell Me If You Like To’ being a perfect example, the record is coupled with moments of stark clarity. New single ‘The Summer’, a song they see as a homage to their heroes The Beach Boys, showcases the band’s ability to pen huge festival worthy hits, whilst ’Rectifier’ and ‘Demons’ wrestle with themes of fear and paranoia.

Ultimately Spring King like party songs with a melancholic edge. Tarek vividly remembers summertime as a teen, guitar songs blaring out car stereos and soundtracking the reckless parties he’d host in his empty house. “I want this record to be that moment in other people’s lives.” With a desire to shun the fast route and after 200 gigs of being an unsigned band, to being made the first (and unsigned) band to be played on BEATS 1 while picking up support from media across the globe, incl. Radio 1, 6Music, Triple J, NPR, The Guardian, DIY, Stereogum and hitting the road with the likes of FIDLAR, Wolf Alice, Slaves and Courtney Barnett, Spring King’s journey is one of wonderment and is that of the unsung hero.

Perseverance is everything Spring King are and continue to be. From start to finish Tell Me If You Like To captures their journey to get to this point; building on their early promise and surpassing all expectations as they head straight for the top.

CHORDS, RIFFS, TABS AND TURN-AROUNDS

Gospel, Jazz, Folk, Country, Rock, Soul, B-Bop, Funk, Rhythm & Blues, Punk and Pop, it all came "Out of the Blues" . On the Focus Music page we aim to take a look at the journey popular music has made through the decades with links to influential artists of each era. Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday and original Blues men including Robert Johnson, Edward Son House, Skip James and Mississippi John Hurt made their way north from the American deep South and brought the "Blues" to a wider American audience. This in turn lead to the birth of "Rock and Roll" in the 50s with artists such as Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. "The Beatles" were inspired by the great guitar riffs of Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry and Little Richard's soulful sound and "Rhythm and Blues" burst onto the UK music scene in the 60s spawning the "Mersey Beat Sound" and "Beatlemania" and the rest they say is Hi...

With the excitement surrounding the release on Florence + The Machine’s second album reaching fever pitch, here’s ‘Shake It Out’ - the massive lead single to be taken from ‘Ceremonials’ . Where ‘What The Water Gave Me’ dramatically played out like an ode to the ocean and is magnificent powers, ‘Shake It Out’ incites a desire to jump up and dance fervently, shaking off the shackles of a persistent mood, feeling or indeed hangover, as, she points out, “it’s hard the dance with the devil on your back so shake it out”.
