King Prawn stand as one of the United Kingdom’s enduring punk and ska groups, forging a unique path since their formation in 1993. With a reputation for high-energy live music and dynamic fusion of genres, their discography includes notable releases such as the single “Wildstyle” (2021), alongside records like “Smoke Some Shit (Uke Wellington mix)” and their album “B sides.” The band’s dedication to pushing boundaries is evident not only in their recordings but also in their vibrant stage presence, which continues to draw dedicated audiences across the UK.
The group’s commitment to innovation remains strong, having recently worked on new material at Yiayia’s studio in Hastings, with the addition of drummer Tim Macdonald (formerly of Capdown) bringing a fresh energy to the lineup. King Prawn have taken headline slots at venues such as the Hairy Dog in Nottingham and The Holroyd Arms in Guildford, captivating crowds with both classic tracks and their newest creations. Their performances have also graced stages at events like Boomtown (where they headlined the Hanger 161 stage for the sixth time), Manchester Punk Festival, Jera On Air, and Handfest.
