Kings Of The Wild Frontier
Adam And The Ants · Antics In The Forbidden Zone [1990]
A new Royal Family, a wild nobility, we are the family
A new Royal Family, a wild nobility, we are the family
I feel beneath the white
There is a redskin suffering
From centuries of taming
I feel beneath the white
There is a redskin suffering
From centuries of taming
No method in our madness
Just pride about our manner
Antpeople are the warriors
Antmusic is the banner!
A new Royal Family, a wild nobility, we are the family
A new Royal Family, a wild nobility, we are the family
No method in our madness
Just pride about our manner
Antpeople are the warriors
Antmusic is the banner!
And even when you're healthy
And your colour schemes delight
Down below those dandy clothes
You're just a shade too white
Shade too white!
Shade too white!
Shade too white!
I feel beneath the white
There is a redskin suffering
From centuries of taming...
I feel beneath the white
There is a redskin suffering
From centuries of taming...
Kings Of The Wild Frontier
Kings Of The Wild Frontier stands as a defining anthem of the New Wave era, capturing the theatrical energy that propelled Adam and the Ants to prominence. Originally released on their 1980 debut album, the track showcases the band's signature blend of punk aggression and glam rock flair. Adam Ant's charismatic delivery and the song's driving rhythm created an enduring image of a dandyish warrior leading a pack of followers. The recording remains a cornerstone of the group's discography, illustrating their ability to merge historical references with modern pop sensibilities. While the song has achieved legendary status over the decades, its impact lies in its ability to encapsulate the spirit of early eighties British music. It continues to resonate as a powerful example of the band's unique sonic identity and cultural influence.
