Year of Queens. Day 49. Here’s another super sweet review of “Love Is Punk” by Dave Franklin @bigtakeovermag. Unbelievably kind and thoughtful. “When people use the term pop-folk, they are usually talking about some fresh-faced troubadour with complicated hair and an acoustic guitar singing, sappy, sentimental songs aimed at sappy, sentimental people. From now on, when I think of pop-folk, nothing less than Dark City Kings will ever suffice. The benchmark has been set—do your worst, people.“ You can read it at: https://bigtakeover.com/recordings/dark-city-kings-love-is-punk-self-released

Year of Queens. Day 48. @indierock__ @will_lisil - This is the review of Love Is Punk by Indie Rock News and writer Will Lisil. This could not be kinder or more thoughtful. “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.“ Please check this out: https://indierock.news/article/embrace-the-revolution-of-folk-rock-with-dark-city-kings-latest-album-love-is-punk/
Year of Queens. Day 53. Thank you to the super kind review by @indiedockmusicblog. You can read it here: https://indiedockmusicblog.co.uk/?p=25238. “Love and punk is not just the name of their next release, it is a whole concept expressed by the members of Dark City Kings. Love is the most surprising and unpredictable thing that can happen in our life. Likewise, Dark City Kings’ music is a genre of its own that deserves attention from music critics and love from fans of thoughtful songs.”
