Beast & Burden is a tongue in cheek uptempo pop / punk song about a couple whose relationship has got to the point where they can barely look at each other!

TRES KINGS are undoubtedly adding another string to their bow with the brand new release ‘My Favourite Letter is K’. 
The new track is a dream fuelled soundscape that really allows front man Wez King’s impressive vocal range to take centre stage and shine. 
Backed by soaring guitar solo’s, funky bass lines and energetic pounding drums, this track is a pure work of art. 
Tres Kings are Wez King on Vocals and Lead Guitar, Lacs Fuller on Bass and Rhu Fuller on Drums. 
The track was recorded at The Libertines HQ in Margate, The Albion Rooms, being engineered and mixed by award winning sound engineer Jason Stafford (The Libertines/Trampolene/Jamie T)  and mastered by Graham Waller.
TRES KINGS are riding high on the successes of 2025 and can’t wait to carry it on into 2026 with more new music planned and two sold out London dates with TRAMPOLENE already in the diary for January.


K (MASTER WAV) (1)

I'm a sucker for punishment.
These words are a testament to
the cigarette burns on my chest.
Like medals from a war.
Despite what you believe
I'd like less spite with my sweetness. 

She said "I love you pieces,
but we can never be friends."
She said "I'll love you more than the next man
who creeps in my bed."

I looked her in the eyes and then I said;

"Would you do me wrong tonight?
I am a thorn, you've got the side.
Do you leave here with this itch 
that tells you I am not the one?
Would you do me wrong if I
was a thorn stuck in your side?
I'd leave you with this gift 
of hopeless thoughts and move along."

Do me wrong.

I'm a sucker for punishment
lying listless on your bedroom floor.
I was torn into pieces,
but I've been broken before.
Despite what you believe
I'd like less spite with my sweetness. 

She said "I wanted you forever,
but not the voices in your head"
I said "I'm sure you'll find another deadbeat
to share your bed."

I raised an eyebrow and then I went:


"Would you do me wrong tonight?
I am a thorn, you've got the side.
Do you leave here with this itch 
that tells you I am not the one?
Would you do me wrong if I
was a thorn stuck in your side?
I'd leave you with this gift 
of hopeless thoughts and move along."

Do me wrong.

Any Other Day

I find a lot of my likes on the BBC Introducing Mixtape and I collect as many of the tracks as possible into a Monthly package.

The Bookshop Band write songs inspired by books, and have been playing them
in bookshops, literary festivals and libraries all over the UK and into Europe. The
band began as a collaboration with Mr Bs Emporium of Reading Delights, in
Bath (Independent Bookshop of the Year 2008 / 2011) as part of a plan to help Mr
B’s rejuvenate its traditional ‘author evenings’. The band would read the forthcoming
author’s book in advance and write two songs based upon it, to be performed at
the start of the evening. Their performances are inextricably linked to the books
themselves, as the members of the band take it in turns to describe where the
inspiration for each song came from.

After the first season the band recorded and released their first album, Travels
From Your Armchair. Despite only being available in the bookshop itself, word
soon spread and they were picked up by the BBC’s Tom Robinson who played
them on his national Introducing show on BBC 6Music. More recently the band
had a 10 minute feature on Kirsty Lang’s culture show, BBC Radio 4’s Front
Row, a feature on The Today Program, a commission by BBC Radio 3’s The
Verb, and a feature on BBC News, in The Independent, and Guardian Books.

They have been championed by the authors, publishers, and even have a track being
used in a national campaign to support bookshops around the UK and Ireland.
To date they have written almost 100 songs inspired by over 50 diverse books, from
Andrew Miller’s “Pure” (2011 Costa Novel of the Year) to Ian Rankin’s latest
crime fiction Rebus novel “Standing in another man’s grave”, from Rachel
Joyce’s debut hit “The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry” to Ruth Ozeki’s
“A Tale For The Time Being”, short listed for the Booker Prize 2013.

The band is made up of three British musician / songwriters, Ben Please, Poppy
Pitt and Beth Porter. They struck up a friendship whilst playing with their
respective bands at UK music festivals in 2009, and decided to collaborate after Mr
B’s asked for music at their author events in 2010.

To date, the band have released 4 albums, which cover their first twelve months
of songwriting, and are currently recording a further 6 albums, covering their
subsequent two years songwriting. These are due for release in 2014.
