Kula Shaker were composed of Crispian Mills (Guitar/Lead Vocals), Alonza Bevan (Bass/Backing Vocals), Paul Winterhart (Drums) and Jay Darlington (Hammond Organ, Backing Vocals) between 1994 and 1999. When they regrouped in 2006, Jay Darlington was substituted with Henry 'Harry' Broadbent. Their sound is roughly based around the sounds of Brit-Pop and psychedelic rock with heavy influences of Indian music throughout. Their first album, 'K' was released in the UK in 1996 and became the fastest selling Debut since Definitely Maybe by Oasisselling 850,000 copies in the UK and a further 250,000 in the US. Their second album released in 1999 entitled 'Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts' however did not have the success of the first, selling only a fraction of copies that K managed to shift despite a slightly higher marketing budget.

Under the hammer, under the hammer again
Under the hammer, under the hammer again
I gotta be strong, gotta be strong yeah
I gotta hold on, hold on to the magical key
Somebody's following me
I've got to know some more than this suffering
There's something more but it's just not happening
I've got to know some more than this hammering
Hammering you
Under the hammer, under the hammer again
Under the hammer, under the hammer again
I've got to be free, heal me mantra
Send me an earthquake, drag the city into the sea
Somebody's following me
I've got some news, everybody's going down
Apocalypse now!
