King Nun: Claiming your own freedom from what’s expected of you

The London four-piece are the latest chosen by the NME as the "next-big-UK-rock-thing", and they are - quite good. Not as fresh and exciting as Black Midi, but still worth a listen. Their debut album 'Mass', lyrically, pulls a lot from frontman Theo Polyzoides' childhood, as he says in NME interview: “Some of the fondest times in my life is just sneaking out and walking around the streets when I was younger, and I think that every King Nun song, in a way, pulls from that... It’s escapism, finding your place in the world and claiming your own freedom from what’s expected of you”.
