History
Formation and "Let Your Heart Sing" EP (2012)
Three months after The King Blues split up, guitarist Jamie Jazz had been debating whether to stay in music or to "get a real job". He began working on some new "really, really, REALLY punk" material, before arriving at the songs which would comprise the ''Let Your Heart Sing'' EP.

After releasing and recording the "Let Your Heart Sing" EP, tracks were played by
