Artist: King Of The Slums
Genre: Alternative Rock
King of the Slums were a British alternative rock band from Manchester who incorporated violin into their angular post-punk sound during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Their unusual instrumentation and dark, literary lyrics distinguished them from the emerging Madchester scene. Albums on Play Hard Records earned them critical respect and a cult following among fans of challenging alternative music. King of the Slums represented the diverse sounds within Manchester's music scene beyond the baggy movement that dominated media attention. Their incorporation of strings and unconventional song structures influenced subsequent indie bands who sought alternatives to standard guitar rock.
