Independent label: Play Hard Records was a label of the late 1980s. Play Hard was set-up
by a renowned DJ from Manchester called Dave Haslam and Nathan McGough, the son
of the Liverpool poet Roger McGough. Play Hard Records Former Address: 48
Princess Street Manchester M1 6HR. King of the Slums were a British alternative
rock band. Formed in Greater Manchester in the mid-1980s, the band specialised
in a kind of electric violin and guitar-driven rock music, and released their
debut single in 1986. Whilst the band earned some critical acclaim from the UK
music press, commercial success eluded them and the group disbanded in the early
1990s following the release of their second studio album, Blowzy Weirdos (1991).
An album of new material plus some older songs appeared in 2009 credited to both
King of the Slums and Slum Cathedral User, which was the original name
of the group. Distributed By The Cartel / Nightshift / Rough
Trade.
