INTERVIEW King Nun really broke out in 2018, but with their latest


album ‘Mass’ they’ve matured and really hit their stride. Label mates with the 1975, Japanese House and Wolf Alice, they’re in good company to get some serious


traction. In October they played the LCR supporting the Struts, but as they’ll be back in the new year we decided to catch-up with them before they return.


So, firstly, who have you been listening to lately? Are there any new bands you’re a big fan of? I’ve been listening to a lot of Death Grips recently; their music is exactly what I seem to need for whatever reason. Then there’s people like Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Judee Sill, The House of Fix, Sybil Baier and R.E.M that I love, adore and will always listen to. If the band Sorry count as a new band I love their new single and I’m really excited for their album. I’m really into Night Time by Master Peace, I love the personality in


his performance, it feels really authentic and that means a lot to me in music. What song do you love that might


surprise your listeners? I love Complicated by Avril Lavigne. It was referenced time and time again throughout writing our album. I’d say we learned a lot from it and became better writers because of it, amazing song. Five stars all the time. What was the first album which blew your socks off? When I was very young my dad played me the albumAC/DC Live in his flat.

I took the CD and played it back at my mum's place and over a few days it started making sense, like hearing melody in a chainsaw buzz. It’s always like that when I find a new band I love. So, you’ve recently released your debut album, Mass, and it seems to
