Embrace the Revolution of Folk Rock with Dark City Kings’ Latest Album Love Is Punk

Let the United States Own Dark City Kings Take You on an Alt Rock Pop Journey Filled with Passionate Love Songs Straight from Black Mountain

When the worlds of alt-rock pop and love songs collide, the result is nothing short of spectacular. Dark City Kings, hailing from Black Mountain in the United States, have perfectly captured this blend in their latest album, Love Is Punk, produced by the legendary Kevin Moloney, known for his work with Sinead O’Connor and U2.

This ensemble, featuring talents such as Colleen Rose with her mesmerizing female vocals, Kyrie Antoinette’s enchanting violin, Bayla Ostrach’s deep bass, Craig Rumney’s powerful drums, Merlin Armstrong and JP Kennedy’s retro guitar rock pop vibrations, crafts a sound that resonates deeply with anyone who cherishes classic sound with a modern twist.

Their music brings to mind artists who have masterfully blended genres – imagine if Debbie Harry were to front The Waterboys, a fusion of 80’s rock vibes, new wave, and folk rock, all swirling together in a melting pot of musical innovation.

You can listen to our full playlist which contains the artist’s music, and know more about the artist’s work by scrolling down the page.

Their second album is an odyssey that proclaims, “Love is Punk. Love is messy. Love is DIY. Love is noisy. Love is anti-establishment.”

These are not just words; they are a mantra that the Dark City Kings live by, a belief that love, in all its chaotic beauty, is the most punk notion of all. Their songs are vibrant expressions of this belief, blending the raw energy of garage rock with the heartfelt sincerity of love songs.

The tracks “Anxiety 7,” “True Believer,” and “Love Is Punk” stand as testaments to their genre-defying sound. “Anxiety 7” tackles the complexities of love, not just as an emotion but as a creative force that fuels the art-making process, while “True Believer” draws on traditional Irish music, turning it into a garage rock anthem that Shane McGowan would have proudly sung along to.

Then there’s “Love Is Punk,” symbolizing the ups and downs of relationships, reminiscent of a spaghetti western narrative but set against a backdrop of punk and alt-rock pop.

As a PopHits.Co music curator, I’m compelled to say that Dark City Kings are not merely a band; they are a cultural movement. Their music is a clarion call for anyone who believes that love is not confined to quiet whispers but is a loud, defiant force that challenges norms and breaks barriers.

“Their music is an echo of the past, yet a vision of the future, defining what it means to bring love into the rebellious spirit of rock,” is how I would capture their essence.

For those who dare to experience love in its most audacious form, I invite you to explore more about Dark City Kings. Visit their Website, listen on Spotify, and connect with them on Facebook, Instagram, and BandCamp.

Let their music inspire you, follow them, and like and listen to our curated playlist to get a taste of what true musical innovation feels like.
