Pop-punk and modern rock leaders King Of Cups highlight their unique ability to craft catchy, compelling indie tracks, whilst intertwining a sense of clear conceptual purpose and sharp lyrical precision.
From the upcoming EP Elemental, Watch The World Burn is refreshingly genuine and compelling from a lyrical perspective, injecting a genuine sense of conceptual depth and poetry into the timeless energy and embrace of pop punk, and in the process reminding us of the talent and infectious energy of King Of Cups.
Promising a journey and story both poignant and provocative, Watch The World Burn is everything its title implies, but the track also showcases the strong riffs, euphoric grooves, and vocal and melodic prowess of King Of Cups. It’s an inclusive ode to the destructive nature of humanity, and in some strange way it feels like an anthemic moment of unity for all who witness the chaos of modern life.
An addictively contemplative, confronting and timeless new track, from a four-piece band that consistently impresses both musically and in the sense of thought and meaning their music encapsulates. Watch The World Burn is an easy addition to any and all rising pop rock and pop punk playlists this year, and in my view, it offers a little more insight and intelligence with each revisit to the pace and political presence of its writing.
