THE FUTURE KINGS OF SPAIN - DUBLIN
BALCONYTV.COM 4/10/2007 PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT Future Kings Of Spain's new single "Kick In The Teeth" has just been released exclusively by download. This is the second single released from their forthcoming and highly anticipated sophomore album "Nervousystem" (released 28 September 2007) and follows first single "Guess Again. The new album follows their self titled debut album which was released in Ireland, Japan, Australia and the UK and sold over 40,000 copies worldwide which is a rare feat achieved by many Irish acts. They released a host of singles from the album including live anthems "Venetian Blinds", "Hanging Around" and "Face I Know" (Debuting #9 UK Rock Charts) through Independent UK label, Red Flag Records. In the same year the band scooped the Best New Band at the Meteor Ireland Music Awards, performed to 40,000 people at Sonicmania in Japan, toured and performed with many international acts including Muse and The Strokes. Future Kings of Spain were on the up! However, immediately following the completion of the new album "Nervousystem", recorded in London and Malta with highly credited producer Ian Grimble (Manic Street Preachers, The Fall) the unthinkable happened! Their UK label ran into 'financial difficulties' and began delaying and pushing the release date back! As soon as the band realised that the album may never be released due to the quagmire their label found themselves in, they began to fight to be freed from their contract and regain ownership of their album. The battle may have taken 18 months but the four piece are overjoyed that they can finally move forward with the release of their music and hit the live circuit - The clouds have lifted and things look bright for the Futures! Joey Wilson sings, plays guitar and football. Karl Hussey plays guitar and tans very well. Anton Hegarty plays bass guitar, table tennis and knows J. R. Tolkien. Bryan McMahon plays drums and gives out an awful lot! http://www.fkos.com/ http://www.myspace.com/futurekingsofspain Tune in again tomorrow!!!
