Described as “The Waterboys fronted by Debbie Harry,” Dark City Kings continue to stake their claim as visionary architects of pop, punk, and new wave—known for their soaring choruses, sharp hooks, and raw exuberance.

The double single, “Champions of Tomorrow’s Fun / Atmosphere,” marks the first new release from Dark City Kings since their breakout album, "Love Is Punk." These two tracks lead the way for their upcoming album, "Joy is Defiance" — the band’s second collaboration with legendary producer Kevin Moloney (Sinead O’Connor’s first two albums).
What happens when new wave meets folk punk? What happens when the rolling hills of North Carolina collide with the back alleys of New York City? The Dark City Kings write pop anthems disguised as folk songs. Their music is aspirational, combining everything good about American music into one carefully crafted record.
