King Eider - Live Session and interview - BBC Radio Scotland, The Culture Studio (11/04/2014)

Edinburgh-based folk-blues band King Eider are a talented five-piece who create a modern acoustic sound using traditional musicianship. From the loud to the soft, the haunting to the upbeat, the harmonic strength of this band lies in their unique mix of three-part harmonies, acoustic guitar, bass, drums and classical strings. 

If pushed to draw parallels, their sound encompasses certain aspects of Ben Howard’s melodic soulfulness, the drive of Mumford and Sons, and always shows a flair for the foot-stomping fun reminiscent of Arcade Fire.

King Eider have a great live history in England and Scotland, including notable gigs at Edinburgh’s Sneaky Pete’s for Communion Records, and London’s Hootanannys. Backed up with live recordings and an encouraging introduction to a recording career through self-funded projects at Bainbridge, Edinburgh. 

A band to watch, King Eider will be releasing their first single soon.
