Recorded just outside London in natural surroundings, the band have told It's All Indie about their motivation and about the making of it. Speaking about the lyrics and sound, they said;
"Playfully reviving the original roots of rock and
roll, they are a new wake up call and speak our truth, with enjoyment and
optimism. Lyrically informed poetry, sharing tales from our cities and
experiences. With raw energy, The Gulps are a unique take on classic
alternative pop, fuelled by the drive of rock music at its best."
In terms of influences and what inspired their sound, each band member brings their own set of references to the band.

"We draw upon the inspiration of rock’s household
names, such as The Strokes, Rolling Stones and The Clash, to ground their
compositions. This appreciation however only acts as a foundation, paying
homage to the sounds of the past, as The Gulps reignite the industry with their
own dissertation on what it is to be rock’n’roll in the twenty-first
century."
Having
established a reputation for their poetic punk songs, they are also known for
sharing tales from the cities they come from with an honest, raw energy
inspired by the spirit of punk rock. The Kings House captures all these
elements.
Produced by
Martin 'Youth' Glover (Killing Joke) and released through his new label Youth
Sounds, the EP out and available now on vinyl and all digital
platforms.
