What they actually mean by "Kings of Prussia" is "King of Prussia." Please pardon the confusion. This is our live band.

Listen up!!

Click here for: Radio Catalunya interview w/ Mireia

What lies in the future for King of Prussia remains to be heard and seen, but the band’s first record is a masterpiece most artists spend years seeking and rarely touch. Save the Scene shifts between moods and melodic drives, memorably displaying King of Prussia’s lyrical depth and talent for connecting with listeners immediately and consistently. Smart, sensuous, and sincere, Save the Scene has earned a high place among the year’s top releases. Savor this breathtaking achievement.

--Sahar Oz

Delusions of Adequacy

¨Save the Scene (o primeiro album) que são perfeitos para fazer videoclips dos momentos mais espectaculares das nossas vidas e/ou dar beijos na boca, à adolescente!" LeCool Lisbon

"If you don’t care about your hipster image or an indie sound, don’t waste your time on King of Prussia." Daily Vanguard

"The Athens, Ga. group's debut release heaps of promise."--Paste Magazine

"Those with seasonal affective disorder (or really anyone who finds these colder months depressing), will find that a listen to Save The Scene will work as well as sticking your head in a lightbox to up your serotonin production on a grey, snowy day." Pitchfork

"Save The Scene offers pop for the thinking man, something to tap your foot and stroke your beard to." -- The Aquarian

¨Whether frontman Brandon Hanick will be cross-dressing in 10 years and crooning about paying girls to hit other girls is anyone's guess. But he and Kevin Barnes already have one thing in common: They each made one of the better records released in 2007."--Magnet Magazine

“King of Prussia is a sextet that dispenses regal, twee-pop with sweet harmonies, ringing guitars and infectious melodies.” NPR Second Stage

Save the Scene "consists of majestic sweeping pop that is quite simply some of the most promising indie-pop I have heard in quite some time. I can really go on and on praising this band, but I know as soon as you hear their music it will speak for itself (forgive the cliché, but I am serious)."-- Untitled Records

"There’s also a weird mention of Tony Danza being on the run in the song. I have no idea what that means in terms of the rest of the song, but I sort of like it.....that’s some hippie-shit right there)"--Crawdaddy! The Magazine of Rock!

KOP's "pop sound is a warm embrace, but the lyrics are laced with acid wit and clean storytelling" Electric Sailor

"The messages are there, hidden under synth, claps, and multiple guitars of shiny happy pop: from consumerism in, “Scientists And Mathematicians,” to zealous patriotic extremism in, “Misadventures Of The Campaign Kids” (particularly the line “Tony Danza is on the run,” an allusion to Cat Steven’s ridiculous placement on the Homeland Security’s No Fly list in 2004), to old fashioned vanity on “Terrarium.” Each track is sung with a child-like Liverpoollian bent by Hanick; all the more reason to appreciate the dual nature of King of Prussia’s work."--Reax interview

“Their brief but wholly satisfying seven-song debut, Save the Scene, melds jaunty psychedelic whimsy and literate, orchestrated pop to tremendous effect. A wonderful discovery, and it’s nice to see Kindercore Records reintroducing itself with such accomplished projects.” Stomp and Stammer

"King of Prussia did some stuff one time that we thought was pretty ok."--paraphrasing Under the Radar Magazine

"It’s an intricate affair that doesn’t beg immediate comparisons to other indie-pop acts like Pavement — there’s a subdued mood of introspection across the whole album that ebbs and flows in waves but never breaks over the top to come crashing down atop the head of an unsuspecting listener."-- Knoxville Daily Times interview

"Must-see band...offers a gorgeous brand of organic, cleverly layered indie-pop with captivatingly intimate, highly literate lyrics sung with expressive charm"-->Creative Loafing Tampa

"De zeven nummers van Save The Scene passen in de beste traditie van Beatles, Shins en Pavement. De band maakt fijne sprankelende pop die goed past in de catalogus van Kindercore waar we ook bands als Dressy Bessy en Of Montreal aantreffen."--Ketelmuziek

Amplifier asks: What kinda jamz does King of Prussia like? Now That's What KOP Calls Music Vol. 7

"Christmas on the Other Side" Pitchfork song download

"The open, natural space reminds us of our postmodern life's separation from a traditional reality. It's a world of shopping and viewing, devoid of human contact (no one's watching this tv)." Jacket Required comments on Brian Steely's artwork for Save the Scene

"It's Good to Be the King" Tennessean interview

King of Prussia 'live up to their name with lush, romantic and, yes, regal pop." 3Hive Review

KOP "shows all the signs of joining Apples in Stereo and Of Montreal in the ranks of the city's elite."Columbia Spectator CMJ show review

Top 10 Athens albums of 2007 Flagpole Top Ten List

"King of Prussia = Belle and Sebastian + Matt Costa + incense. Take Tommy Chong petting a baby deer, a polo/khaki combo, the stinging musk seeping from the pores of every Abercrombie and Fitch store and a gentle summer breeze, and put it all together at a pro-choice rally and you've got King of Prussia. I promise you'll picture the exact same thing—pinky-swear. Perfect for collar-popping kids who are too cool for the Top 40 and less than prepared for the underground." SLUG Mag

"Weird pop from the southeastern corner of the country." Ink 19 Review

"'Misadventures Of The Campaign Kids' rips and snorts like a good '60s lysergic acid flashback, all mock-British vocals ("Tony Danza's on the run"), thumping drums and jangly guitars. Yahoo Music

"To finish I advise you King of Prussia an obscure group on the small label Royal Rhino Flying. The boss of Royal rhino flying records is an admiror of Philip K Dick, King of Prussia adores Neutral Milk Hotel and that gives an original filiation to their music. In short one is between people of good companie. Do not forget that to support indés is also to buy their discs, bandages crevards!!" --Gonzai, 28 jan 2008

“Luckily, King of Prussia never overdo anything on this enjoyable mini-album debut. They fill up every nook and cranny in their songs with rousing backing choruses, weird synth and production effects, big swaths of warehouse echo, and myriad guitar parts, and it all begins to sound like the Flaming Lips trying to play early Kinks.

“A record that balances well between the oddball and the big grand plan. — Johnny Loftus, Detour Magazine

Tags: King of Prussia, Kindercore, Athens, Georgia, Belle & Sebastian, Lucksmiths

“The folks at the Roland Corporation, who manufacture and market the Boss BR-1180 Digital Recording Studio, might want to consider buying up a few thousand copies of Save The Scene, the first album from the Athens, Georgia indie rock band King of Prussia, and hand them out to potential users of the BR-1180 as a show of what the gizmo can do in the right hands. 4 out of 5 stars.” All Music Guide

"The newly resurrected Kindercore Records were right to put their faith in the band for their re-launch. With very little fanfare welcoming them, King of Prussia are a band that could be well worth watching if they can continue producing quality pop songs like these."--Exclaim Magazine
