God Save The King is what happens when the songs of Elvis Presley crash head-first into the attitude of the Sex Pistols. The Sex Presleys, a gloriously irreverent band from San Francisco, reinvent Rock 'n' Roll classics as full-throttle Punk anthems without losing sight of what made the originals so great.
The six-track set tears through Elvis favourites including Teddy Bear, Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, Burnin' Love and Can't Help Falling In Love with infectious energy, razor-sharp musicianship and an unhealthy sense of humour. It's a concept that sounds outrageous on paper but works brilliantly from the opening chord, with the familiar songs given a gloriously irreverent Punk makeover.
Whether you're an Elvis Presley fan with a taste for Punk or simply enjoy hearing classic songs turned completely on their head, God Save The King is as entertaining as it is unexpected. Six unforgettable reinterpretations of the King's music from a band that clearly knows exactly how far it can push the concept.
