On 11 April 2017, The King Blues released their fifth studio album "The Gospel Truth" on Cooking Vinyl Records. The first album since 2012 got a number 1 spot on the cassette chart, a top 20 placing on the vinyl chart and a top 40 placing on the overall chart. A single, "Tory Is a 4 Letter Word", was released as a download on Cooking Vinyl Records around the time of the UK general election. A soundtrack by The King Blues to a punk puppet opera written by Jonny Itch Fox. It is based on the false alarm that went out in Hawaii in 2018, informing residents there was an imminent missile and took 38 minutes before they were told it was a false alarm. The musical theatre production has one date in Camden, London and sold out months in advance. The album entered the UK Top 40. It is the first album put out on Jonny Itch Fox's "Meatball Records"  The King Blues have "a commitment to politics and resistance". Itch has written for "Last Hours" magazine which generally focuses on resistance politics and protest. Several songs on "Under the Fog" are overtly political, including "Chimp in a 3 Piece Suit" and "Duck and Cover". The band's website states that "Save the World, Get the Girl" features "a much more personalized take on social ills" than "Under the Fog". Nonetheless, overtly political lyrics did feature in two live favourites that appeared on the album. The title track includes the lyric "Going to war to prevent war was the most stupid thing I ever heard", while "The Streets Are Ours" includes references to Indymedia and Tiananmen Square. "Smash EDO Dub", the B side to the re-release of "Mr. Music Man", features an interview with a campaigner from the Smash EDO movement. The links on The King Blues' official website are almost exclusively political. On his Formspring profile, Itch states that he is probably an anarchist. Promoting their latest single in February 2012, Itch made the following statement: "There's no fucking future for anyone but the privileged any more, education needs to be for everyone, we need jobs, houses, and all they want us to do is pay our taxes, shut the fuck up and gratefully eat X-Factor. It makes me sick to my gut.
