Kings Of The City seemed to be just on the verge of a breakthrough, on the cusp of wider success and recognition when the band were dealt a crushing blow.
Vocalist Danny Wilder was diagnosed with lung cancer, and - despite an extensive battle against the illness - he passed away in 2013.
The band have opted not to continue as Kings Of The City but, as a final mark of respect, they have engineered fresh project 'No Snake'. An album length blast of fresh material, it utilises concepts left behind by Danny Wilder and also includes contributions from Maverick Sabre and Klashnekoff.
Kicking off a crowd-funding operation, the band were stunned when £14,000 rolled in from friends, fans and admirers - an enormous signal of the respect they generation.
'No Snake' will be released on August 14th (pre-order LINK), with Kings Of The City guiding fans through an emotional salute to friendship.
Clash is extremely proud to be able to premiere the video for new cut 'Wrong'. The first release from 'No Snake' you can dive in below.
Kings Of The City will play an album launch show at 93 Feet East on August 28th.
