The K’s share emotionally charged new single ‘Helen, Oh, I’

Just a day into their Pretty On The Internet Tour, indie-rock quartet The K’s release their third single of the year, ‘Helen, Oh, I’ – a haunting, and emotive power ballad that sees band frontman Jamie Boyle wrestle his demons as he tries to find both balance, and a sense of inner peace whilst navigating life in the fast lane.

Produced by GRAMMY Award winning musician Jim Lowe (Taylor Swift, Stereophonics, Beyoncé) and mixed by Pete Hutchings (Royal Blood, Foals, Nothing But Thieves), the powerful song serves as the third single to be released from the bands upcoming second studio album ‘Pretty On The Internet’ which is set to drop via LAB Records later this summer.

“‘Helen, Oh, I’ is a song I wrote reflecting a particularly chaotic and turbulent period in my life,” Jamie says of the introspective track. “During this time, I found myself struggling to balance the demands of a new found life on the road while desperately trying to maintain the stability of my life at home.” 

“It’s no secret to anyone who knows me that I have a tendency to lean into self-destructive behaviours or seek out cheap distractions, even if they come at the cost of significant damage instead of confronting the deeper issues at hand. I would often opt for temporary escapes, letting everything around me unravel as a result and ‘Helen, Oh, I’ is written about my realisation of this when looking back on things I’ve done or the way I’ve behaved in certain situations and realising the damage is done and it’s too late to change it.”

Recognised for their energetic live performances, rousing indie anthems and deeply profound lyrics, The K’s are Jamie Boyle (vocals/guitar), Ryan Breslin (guitar/keyboards), Dexter Baker (bass) and Nathan Peers (drums), four lads from the north of England, on a mission to be something of a voice for those who find themselves disillusioned with the trials and tribulations of modern life in the 21st century.

Following the release of their debut album ‘I Wonder If The World Knows?’ – which was only kept off the top spot by The Libertines and Beyoncé and was the UK’s second biggest debut of 2024 – the uber talented quartet have swiftly become one of the most exciting and successful new British bands of last year. 

Currently on their UK and Ireland headline tour after they kicked things off in Belfast last night and will be playing multiple dates around the rest of the country including London’s iconic Roundhouse on 13th May before wrapping in Newcastle on 22nd May.
