Usually, Memorial Day Weekend finds me in Napa at the BottleRock Music Festival, but this year I’m at a different fest, Neighbourhood Weekender in Warrington, UK. It was a bit smaller and full of young folk wearing bucket hats, but the music was a stellar combination of exciting new artists (Michael Aldag, The Royston Club, Pixey) and established favorites (James Bay, Starsailor, Razorlight).

This week, I finally got to see a band I’ve been obsessing over for two years called King No-One. Expectations were high for the Yorkshire-based rockers, but their live performance managed to exceed them, reminding me a bit of Semi-Precious Weapons or early days Imagine Dragons. I hope these guys can find a way to come to The States soon as I’m not sure I can wait another two years to see them live again. So, everybody, get to the Spotifies (or streaming platform of choice) and tell your friends so we can build them an audience!
