British folk and rock band currently based in London, To Kill A King was formed in 2009 by singer and guitarist Ralph Pelleymounter. Originally known as "Kid iD," the band changed their name after drummer Jonathan Willoughby and synth/keyboard player Ben Jackson joined. In September 2013, Grant McNeill and Joshua Taffel took over as electric guitar player and drummer respectively. With a sound that combines elements of folk and rock, To Kill A King has gained popularity for their captivating performances and heartfelt lyrics.

Similar to bands like Spector, D.I.D, Dry the River, and Bastille, To Kill A King's music resonates with fans who appreciate indie rock with a touch of introspection. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Keaton Henson, Lucy Rose, Bombay Bicycle Club, and Everything Everything, they have crafted a unique sound that is both emotive and energetic.

With their talent for storytelling through songwriting coupled with their dynamic live shows, To Kill A King continues to captivate audiences around the world. Whether performing at intimate venues or larger festivals, this British band leaves an indelible mark on all who experience their music.

Limited Red Vinyl. 'To Kill A King' is a statement record. The reason it's self-titled is to underline the fact that this is a new start. This is the band's Year Zero. Anything is possible. The people who wrote the first album have changed so much, says singer Ralph Pellymounter. Their self-titled new album is the sound of a band hitting the peak of their powers. It's the sort of record that could only be made now, an album wherestadium-sized choruses, artful dynamism and sonic experimentalism slide seamlessly together. It will place the quintet firmly in the lineage of British guitar bands, such as Foals, the Maccabees and Bombay Bicycle Club, who make imaginative, exciting indie-rock. Like those groups, To Kill A King make music with no straitjacket on, a heady blend of youthful exuberance and spirited independence leading the way.
