Roses Kings Castles

The story

RKC formerly known as Roses Kings Castles was first conceived in 2007, originally intended as an underground platform for Adam Ficek to air the songs that were too 'odd pop' for his band Babyshambles. The initial eponymously titled album was released in 2008 on Adam’s own label ‘The Sycamore club’ receiving cult critical acclaim. The Debut was followed a year later by the 'Apples & engines' ep and then in 2010 by the second long player 'Suburban Timebomb' at which point RKC had evolved into a six piece touring band
