Spring King were a four-piece English garage rock band from Macclesfield, who played at SXSW in 2015.[1] They are "a small-scale, art-pop-punk project based in Manchester".[2] They began as a solo project in 2012 of songwriter and producer Tarek Musa, who also sings and plays drums.[3][4][5]
Notably, their track "City" was the first song played on Beats 1 by Zane Lowe.[2][6]
Two of their songs, "City" and "Tell Me If You Like To" were featured on the soundtrack of the 2017 racing sim Gran Turismo Sport, with the former also being featured in Asphalt Legends Unite.
