The Kings of Cool – Artist Bio
Hailing from the wild, windswept coast of Donegal, Ireland, The Kings of Cool are a guitar-driven indie pop band with a timeless sound that’s equal parts classic and fresh.
Born during the stillness of lockdown, the band began as a creative lifeline—writing and recording songs that echo the melodic brilliance of The Beatles and Fleetwood Mac, the lyrical wit of Elvis Costello and Squeeze, and the rhythmic charm of Joe Jackson. The result? A rich, melodic style often compared to Crowded House and R.E.M., yet uniquely their own.
Since their formation, The Kings of Cool have been on an ambitious and consistent release schedule, putting out a new single every 10 weeks.
Their songs are packed with earworm hooks, jangly guitars, and lush harmonies—tunes that feel like long-lost hits from a parallel pop universe.
Their music has resonated far beyond Ireland’s shores, earning airplay on radio stations across Europe, the USA, and Australia. From intimate indie shows to international broadcasts, they’ve been quietly building a loyal global audience with each release.
The Kings of Cool are not just a nod to the past—they’re a fresh take on guitar pop for a new era, combining classic influences with heartfelt storytelling and modern energy. Whether it’s a breezy melody or a bittersweet lyric, they deliver songs that linger long after the last chord fades.
