Local Buzz: The Remnant Kings

A familiar name on the local scene, the band have been invited to open for some big names over the years.

“We’ve had some pretty good support slots with the likes of Band Of Skulls and The Law,” says lead singer Rich Paxton. “And there was one where we played with Wheatus and Tinie Tempah, who is the nicest person I’ve ever met.

“Playing live is the best way to pick up new fans,” he continues. “We’re a lot better live - and that’s at least partly because you can always tell live whether someone believes in what they’re doing.”
