King Of Cups Drop New Single “Watch the World Burn”

Coming from Sacramento, California,  King of Cups bring a refreshing take on political pop punk with their new single “Watch The World Burn”. With this single we are brought back to a time when music made statements on our current state of living and our surrounding circumstances. The single was released shortly after our current political election and almost requires a reflection on addressing current politics. With its challenging and straightforward lyrics, King of Cups have initiated a tie between a callout and accountability.

With their clean guitar sounds, one of a kind lead vocals, and their blend of pop punk crossed with emo rock, King of Cups have made their statement in the music scene all encompassing. From influences of Jimmy Eat World to undertones of Sugarcult among other influences, the band does a fantastic job of bringing their messages to the forefront of their songs as well as matching emotions instrumentally. “Watch The World Burn” is driven with strong notes of frustration, exhaustion, and just a pure need to end being a political bystander. Within “Watch The World Burn” there is a line that follows as "being victims of our own machine”, that everyone is to blame and to be accountable for our current state. There are no differences between people in this situation, “in the dark, they all look alike”. The desire to have it fall apart and end is encapsulated with their strong anthem-like chorus.

King of Cups have ignited a passionate fire through their raw and straight shooting lyrics as well as their blend of emo rock and pop punk. With “Watch The World Burn” dropping on all streaming platforms, their rise in the music scene is bound to catch fire. Following the successes of their other singles “Missing You” and “Back to you”, King of Cups is on the right path to approach the forefront of music and the scene itself.
