Krooked Kings began when Oli Martin, in the midst of leaving the Mormon faith, turned to learning folk covers on his guitar for comfort. Over time, he found friends to play and collaborate with, and as Krooked Kings took shape, the bittersweet solace he’d once found alone in his basement became the foundation of the group’s sound. Joined by Paul Colgan, Matt Monosson, Quinn Casper, and Dave Macey, the band developed a distinctive style that blends their varied influences — from the ornate, biting guitar arrangements of The Strokes to the introspective depth of Bon Iver and the easygoing charm of Peach Pit.

The band’s debut LP, The Comedown (2021), introduced their mix of catchy, up-tempo indie rock anthems and moody, meditative slow-burners. Their sophomore release, All Out of Good Days (2023), expanded their sound with airy synths and anthemic guitar lines, while Shiver (2024) turned up both the tempo and the intensity. Their forthcoming album, set for release in spring 2026, captures all the charm and energy of their previous work while pushing their sound in every direction — from rock-and-roll festival bangers to heartfelt acoustic ballads and tight, synth-driven pop tunes.

At the heart of Krooked Kings’ music is a sincere portrayal of the twenty-something experience in America, capturing the restlessness, dreams, and disillusionments of a generation still figuring things out. Their earnest lyrics and honest perspective resonate with listeners navigating the complexities of modern life.

With hundreds of thousands of followers across social media and placements on major Spotify playlists including "Today’s Indie Rock," "Feel Good Indie Rock," "Marrow," and more, Krooked Kings continue to build a devoted global fanbase. With their captivating sound and rock-solid songwriting, the band is poised to leave a lasting mark on the world stage.
