DESCRIPTION:
The Sea Kings are originally from the far-flung county of Cornwall, UK. Having been friends and occasional bandmates during their teenage years, each member moved up to London separately in the early Millennium to pursue careers in music, exchanging the coastline for concrete and the ocean for rush hour.

The trio were reconnected by solo appearances on the Greenwich open-mic circuit. After a summer spent travelling and busking around Europe they resolved to create something new, together. They began collaborating on fresh material, and the band was born.

On 9th April 2010, a four-track EP, An Introduction To The Sea Kings, was released through online distribution service Record Union, containing songs that will feature on the album (scheduled for release 2012).

The Sea Kings are; James Wills (Vocals/Guitar), Joe Holtaway (Vocals/Mandolin) and Jake Alexander (Vocals/Percussion/Cello).

"Close your eyes and you can feel the sand between your toes, taste the salty sea air, smell that heady mix of salt, seaweed and seagull droppings. It's the sound of wizened old bearded indie kids swapping tales around a roaring fire while quaffing flagons of real ale."
