Illegitimate Sons of the King (I.S.K.) are the North London four-piece who's 60s guitar sound and hook-laden rhymes create a raucous, freewheeling rap-rock mash up that is truly infectious.

All classically trained musicians, it wasn't until they left school in 2005 and had a few impromptu jam sessions in a garden shed that the foundations of the band were set. Their first live show in Brighton in October that year was where they caught the live gig buzz. They spent the next three years at different universities but kept the band focus by travelling the UK at weekends to rehearse and play gigs.

Singer/lead guitar, Danny Wilder and George Clode, keyboards/vocals, are the masterminds behind the clever and frank lyrics. Add Piers Marais on bass/backing vocals and Theo Wieder on drums and the on stage dynamics between these lifelong friends is electric.

After recording demo tracks in 2006 in York, I.S.K. were given the opportunity to record at Britannia Row Studios, most famously known for being owned by Pink Floyd. The resulting EP was then mixed and mastered at Hackenbacker Studios in Soho by award winning sound engineer, Nigel Heath, who had become a fan of the band after randomly meeting Theo on a train journey.

Their fresh sound combined with their entertaining energetic live shows have led to a dedicated following and also paid off in the form of support slots with Klaxons, The Wombats and the Young Knives.
