Rising British indie / rock sensations The K’s kick off 2025 in serious style today (February 5th) with the release of their storming new single ‘Breakdown In My Bedroom’.
Produced by GRAMMY Award winner Jim Lowe (Stereophonics, The Dandy Warhols) and mixed by Pete Hutchings (Royal Blood, Foals, Nothing But Thieves), the lyrically introspective track serves as the lead single to be lifted off of the bands highly anticipated second studio album ‘Pretty On The Internet’ which is due to be released later this year.
“’Breakdown in My Bedroom’ was written as a reflection of my ongoing struggle to maintain mental stability when navigating through various situations,” frontman Jame Boyle says when deciphering the super relatable tracks delicate subject matter.
“It’s about that internal battle—the moments when anxiety takes over, and the idea of staying in my bedroom, locked away from the world, seems like a safer and more comfortable option than facing social interactions or confronting difficult situations.”
“It’s strange, but there’s a part of me that sometimes chooses the isolation, even though I know it’s not the healthiest choice. The song dives into that feeling of being trapped in your own head, caught between the desire to escape and the need to push through. It’s a personal exploration of how, at times, it can feel easier to avoid the world than to face it head-on.”

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.
In March The K’s will play The British Music Embassy at SXSW in Texas as well as the UK’s emerging artists festival, The Great Escape. In April and May, the band headline their Pretty On The Internet Tour, giving fans a first taste of what’s to come from the album.
Kicking off in Belfast on April 15th, they will play multiple dates across the UK and Ireland including London’s Roundhouse on May 13th, before wrapping up proceedings in Newcastle on May 22nd.
