TO KILL A KING Tickets

Meet To Kill A King and their magnificent songwriter, Ralph Pelleymounter. To Kill A King are an extraordinary band who have the quiet, powerful reserve of The National or even Red House Painters, but it's a reserve mixed with a liquid, rhythmical, joyous touch that recalls Arcade Fire, or the raw, euphoric drive of Mumford And Sons. The startling part of it all is that at any one moment, they can sound like all or none of them.

Their songs are lyrically dense; they explore complicated emotional landscapes, yet they remain direct and harmonically simple. They are unique, and as a consequence, quite stunning. To Kill A King maybe the longed for answer to that terrible question, 'What sort of music do you like?' Best of all, they've only just begun.

Having released their debut single 'Fictional State' via Communion Records to great acclaim in the Spring, the band released their 4 song EP 'My Crooked Saint' in October 2011 through their new label home, Virgin Records.
