THE k’s – pretty on the internet – album review
Merseyside has a pretty decent history of producing indie bands and as indie itself continues its renaissance period, The K’s are establishing themselves as the areas big hope. Only last year they released their fantastic debut album, ‘I Wonder If the World Knows?’ and now they are back already with their sophomore collection – ‘Pretty On the Internet’.
As soon as you hit play, you are greeted with yet more stellar indie rock singalongs that sound tailor made for the ongoing festival season. We said much the same about their debut, but it’s no wonder that the band are already festival favourites with emotionally charged indie anthems such as these.
This really is another remarkably polished set of songs which demonstrate an underdog charm fitting for the youth of 2025 Britain. Lyrically these tracks are an insightful glimpse into the usual struggles of early adulthood. The mistakes, the regrets, the lessons and the realisations are superbly captured in a catchy as hell package.

Sonically this is a direct follow on of that debut record, but equally there are some delightful moments such as the string-filled ballad ‘Helen, Oh I’, which shows added ambition from the four-piece.
Pre-release singles like ‘Breakdown In My Bedroom’, ‘The Bends (Here We Go Again)’ and ‘Me and Your Sister’, gave a good indication of what to expect from this album. The full record however is still worth your time. As much as the likes of ‘Gravestone’ feel festival ready, the album as a whole has a summers day drive vibe as well.
In a short period of time, The K’s have delivered two very good albums and now the world does really feel like their oyster!
