Whats in the name....
Three boys from the Concrete Jungle of Coventry on a mission to bastardize Rockabilly in their own style of organised noise.
King Hermit simply means the best of the worse, of course this was literal through Jim's mothers eyes when her precious son was on Job Seekers Allowance.
Organised noise you say?
Coming in suitably lean and mean, carrying not an ounce of fat, all spiky guitars and equally spiky lyrics, music that discards the much over-used indie swagger for a more wild-eyed, hyperactive skank.
And it’s all so quintessentially English.

Lets get personnal.
80's Coventry kids born and bred with a hankering for pumps, fondness of words with 'esh' tagged on the end and a borderline obsession with Arnold Schwarzneggar. Dale, Marley and Jim have been out quoting each other on The Office for years now and testing the patience of all those around them.
Their measurements are 96' 90' 92' when all squeezed into a group hug and height is 17 foot 10' when standing on top of one another, (not as easy as it sounds) blood type still pending.
Final thoughts aren't just for Jerry Springer...
Anything is possible, cliche it maybe but any great person in history will tell you that if you don't believe in yourself then no one else will.
