This great 'lost' band had a relatively short existence (1976-79), but the mark they left on the music scene at the time was unquestionable.

For twenty years, London-based King Salami and the Cumberland Three have travelled across the globe, mining those early Rock'n'roll sounds to create their own playful brand of ‘Rhythm ‘n’ Blues Punk’. about to release a sixteen-track compilation of their best songs, cunningly titled ‘16 Knockout Hits’. It’s a wild, occasionally sausage-fixated ride through the band’s Continue Reading
