With a punk attitude, new-wave synth pop sounds and indie rock lyrics, The Colours of Kings are music’s new Tom Sawyer.
The Colours of Kings formed, as often bands do, over drinks at a local pub, where discussions became heated and ideals were solidified. Although, this felt more like an uprising, like the beginning of a revolution.
What started as a rebellious manifesto has evolved into a formidable sonic force. After their first EP was hailed as “subtly genius,” the band doubled down with a full-length album that cemented their status as boundary-pushers in the indie scene.
Drawing comparisons to electronic pioneers like Pet Shop Boys and The Postal Service, The Colours of Kings craft dance-worthy anthems with a defiant edge. Now, as they record their sophomore album, they’re channeling Bowie-esque rock and pop sensibilities while preserving their insurgent spirit.
The band may often disagree over politics, beer choices or The Lone Gunmen, but there’s one thing that’s kept them going through EP, album, and beyond:
If at first you don’t succeed, make your own rules.
