Fully paid up non-conformists and out and out eccentrics, King Prawn have been a live favourite around the London club scene for a while now, especially the last couple of years. With their, excuse the pun, blend, of punk-fuelled ska and unseeminglyunrelenting thirst for fun, the band sound like Madness, The Specials and the Clash all rolled into one...not a bad combination at all, and eclectic to say the least. Thing is, it works with their particular brand of music at times being infuriatingly catchy! Check out 'Someone to hate', the ska and skanking 'No peace' (my personal fave) and the reggae beat of 'London born' and rock on with those poor jellybabies as they plunge to their death in the blender!
Advantages: good album Disadvantages: no one like everything

Only the drummer’s name: Nikoli suggests that he may not be mono cultured. However Babar, especially in his stage ... ...a massive beard and Al looks generally Asian.
The album has a spooky intro and this leads into the Pixies-esque (in terms of volume and style change during one song) Someone to Hate.
It is a fun album with clever lyrics. There is great singing from Al and everything fits together nicely. It’s like a small picture from the racial melting pot that London has become. ...
