Kingsgate // The Burning Feathers

Kingsgate is a five-piece that blends rock, funk, pop and RnB into a powerful sound that gets crowds on their feet. Their ethos is that music should be fun and make you feel something, and with catchy melodies, rich harmonies, and energetic instrumentals, theirs does exactly that. The band was started by two friends who grew up together on the Kingsgate estate in Dalston, London, from which they take their name. After taking a short hiatus following the tragic loss of one of these founding members in 2023, Kingsgate has re-emerged more determined than ever. They’ll soon be releasing their first single “Let’s talk about it” and gigging around London throughout the Summer – keep an eye out!

The Burning Feathers were formed out of James Perryman and Soroush Shakeri’s frustration with the current state of music and they wanted to fill a void. Birthed during the pandemic, they wanted to do something different – to stand up, stand out and most importantly, make some noise. With old friends Rob Pennel and Alvin Ho forming the rhythm section, they took a no-frills approach, swiftly creating an album’s worth of music that brings together the alt-rock sounds of their youth with banging sing-along choruses… Songs of frustration, sorrow and the search for something better.
