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. Three more albums followed, Manco Diablo (2017), Artgod Dogs(2018) and Encrypted Contemporary Narratives (2020) before the death of frontman Charley Keigher in 2021.

“Vicious British Boyfriend” is a 1989 12″ EP by British alternative rock band King Of The Slums. It was released on Play hard Records in 1989.
