Speaking of the new energetic single, singer Jamie Boyle explains: “Black And Blue tells a story that is all too familiar for people growing up in working class towns.
"What feels like an innocent attempt of trying your luck with a girl, quickly spirals into one of the local hard men listing pages and pages of ways he’s going to mutilate you.
"Despite this, many will still try their luck as a black eye or two feels like a small price to pay.”
Gearing up for an exciting year ahead, the Earlestown four-piece will head out on a run of intimate, acoustic shows and albums signings in March.
They will then head out on an almost sold-out UK headline tour in April, taking on some of the most sizable venues of their career including Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse and London’s Electric Ballroom.
The K’s have also confirmed slots at some of the UK’s biggest festivals including the main stage at Reading and Leeds, Isle of Wight Festival, Camp Bestival and Kendal Calling, as well as many more across Europe.
The band were also' recently nominated for Breakthrough Act Of The Year' at the Nordoff & Robbins Northern Music Awards, where they will also be performing at the awards on April 23 in Manchester.
The K's hugely anticipated debut album 'I Wonder if the World Knows' has already received thousands of pre-orders and will be available on Vinyl, Cassette, CD and all digital platforms.
Speaking about the upcoming release, Jamie says: “The long wait is nearly over, and we are finally on the brink of releasing our debut album. I Wonder If The World Knows is a written journey throughout the last couple of years of our lives throughout the ups, the downs and everything in between.
"We’ve put our heart and soul into making the perfect record and we can’t wait for you to hear it.”
