EXCLUSIVE: UK:ID premiere video for new single ‘Freedom Of Speech’ on Gigslutz

Somerset based five – piece UK:ID have released brand new single ‘Freedom Of Speech‘ on their own UK:ID Records label and we are proud to be able to bring you the premiere of the video for that single.

‘Freedom Of Speech’ is the first indication of what to expect from the band’s debut album of the same name, which is set to be released in April.

Taking their inspiration from the likes of Rudimental, Chase & Status, Noisia and The Prodigy, the new single sees the band merge crunchy guitars and liquid synths with the dynamic rap vocals of front man Ben-Jah and the stunningly soulful voice of Ella Harris. The result is a truly infectious dancefloor-ready drum & bass anthem that announces the group to the UK scene with a bang.

UK:ID formed a couple of years ago while at Stafford University when siblings KJ (bass) and Ben-Jah (vocals) met up with Glenn (guitar), Joey (drums) and most recently Ella Harris (featured vocals). Since then they have built up an ever-expanding fan base and during last Summer the band headlined several 5,000 plus capacity festivals.

With their album set to drop in April, UK:ID will play the following shows during that month, with more dates set to be announced in the very near future to coincide with the album release.

LIVE DATES:

APR 04th      THE SUN INN, READING

APR 11th      WUNDERBAR, RADSTOCK

APR 24th      THE KING ARTHUR, GLASTONBURY
