King King are the band to beat. Glasgow’s favourite sons have already been saluted as “the best blues-rock band in the world” (Blues Rock Review), credited for “setting the blues world on fire” (Classic Rock), nominated for Best New Band at the Classic Rock Roll Of Honour and handed back-to-back British Blues Awards. They’ve proved their mettle on bills with Thunder and John Mayall, triumphed as far afield as Mumbai and taken the roof off major venues from the 02 Glasgow to Wembley Arena.

Right now, Alan Nimmo (vocals/guitar), Lindsay Coulson (bass), Wayne Proctor (drums) and Jonny Dyke (organ/piano) are riding high on the success of Exile & Grace. Mixed by Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Feeder, Therapy?), this highly anticipated fourth album tipped them into the huge-time upon its October 2017 release, topping the iTunes and Amazon Blues charts – and scoring a career-best #31 placing on the official UK album chart. “There’s an underlying theme on this latest album,” explains Alan. “Some of the main songs are about the state of the world, y’know, this beautiful blue planet that’s turning into a battlefield. There’s an edgier, rockier feel this time around, but you’ve got the soulful ballads as well. It’s still King King. It’s just what we’re doing now.”

King King haven’t wasted a moment of their white-knuckle career. Formed in 2010, the band’s four-album hot-streak includes 2011’s Take My Hand (Maverick: “Tremendous”), 2013’s Standing In The Shadows (The Blues: “A sure-fire hit”), 2015’s Reaching For The Light and last year’s Live album that topped the Amazon Blues Chart and was called “thumping-good” by Classic Rock.

In 2018, Exile & Grace provides the fuel that drives King King forward to major UK and continental headline dates, summer festival appearances, plus a support slot on Europe’s Walk The Earth tour that will see them warming up crowds everywhere from Glasgow Barrowlands to the Royal Albert Hall. “This is the next chapter in King King’s journey,” says Alan, “and we want to take this band as far as we can…”

“We’ve arrived at the party fashionably late…”
Bison Hip were formed by long-time friends during a lockdown Zoom call in 2020. “I don’t know who actually suggested it first”, explains vocalist Paul, “but right away it just seemed like a great idea. Maybe it was the mid-life crisis at play!” The band are all over 50, with the exception of keyboard player and spring chicken Steven, who clocks in at a youthful 41. By the time they finally
got together in early 2021, the blueprint was clear. “We wanted to take our love of blues and rock, and mix it up with our experiences of life” adds Paul. “Between us, we’ve been through so many things in life, ups and downs, some successes and plenty of failures, we wanted all of that in the music. Lastly, we needed to wrap it up in the DNA of our hometown, Glasgow, and hopefully that’s what we’ve achieved”. Built on the backbone of true Scottish grit, the
ethos is clear: real musicians, real instruments, no click tracks, culminating in a unique blues rock sound telling real life stories. With 2 EP’s already released, and a debut album coming in April 2023, Bison Hip have hit the ground running. “There’s plenty more to come, we’re on our way up!” Bison Hip are: Paul Sloway – vocals | Malcolm Button – drums
Steven Radziwonik – keys | John Gilmour Smith – guitar | Graeme Carswell – bass
