Don't call it a comeback. King King has never been away. Two years may have passed since the Glasgow outfit's all-conquering second album, Standing In The Shadows, established them as pack-leaders of the British scene, but Alan Nimmo (vocals/guitar), Lindsay Coulson (bass), Wayne Proctor (drums) and Bob Fridzema (keyboards) have barely cooled their heels or left the headlines. There were the five triumphs at the 2014 British Blues Awards (including gongs for 'Best Album' and 'Best Band'). The nods came from top media tastemakers, from DJ Paul Jones to the Classic Rock: Blues Magazine. The blood and thunder of their international headline tours, and recent support slots with John Mayall gave the British blues-boom godfather a tough act to follow. In 2015, with so many bands seemingly content to settle for transient throwaway pop, Reaching For The Light is real music: an album to soundtrack the good times and soothe you during the bad. Of course, King King will take all the plaudits, sales and awards statuettes you care to sling their way - but that's not the objective. "We all want to take this band as far as we can," says Alan. "You want to sell as many albums as possible, and anyone who says they don't enjoy five-star reviews is lying. But most important is that we've got a great album that people can listen to and enjoy. That's what really matters - and that's the truth."
