Our Story

King of Cups are a rising force in the modern alt scene, reinvented from their former incarnation Black It Out and reborn from the ashes of Scarlet's Sonata with explosive results.

The Pop-Rock / Pop-Punk / Emo-Pop duo of Sugar Shaun and BryGuy deliver ear-hook riffs, soaring melodies, and shout-along lyrics, amplified by the thunderous low end of bassist Tyler Wolter and the high-octane precision from drummer Kevin Prince of Drummer101. Influenced by Story Of The Year, Jimmy Eat World, Life On Repeat, and Senses Fail, King of Cups have carved out a magnetic, unmistakable sound that hits hard and sticks.

Their momentum is undeniable, earning attention from radio stations worldwide including KRXQ 98 Rock, Alyx Plays Punk, and Squatch In The Pit. They’ve shared stages with national acts like Mozart Season and Heartshed, and their music has been featured in outlets such as New Noise, Vents Magazine, Music Crowns, and more.

At their core, King of Cups write music that speaks directly to those who need it most. Their critically acclaimed single “Lighthouse” was praised by Real Gone Rocks as “pretty much perfect,” and with the highly anticipated Elemental album on the horizon, the buzz around the band continues to build as they gear up to take the world by storm.

So don’t wait, join the movement. Follow King of Cups and get swept up in their unstoppable energy, unforgettable hooks, and the electrifying ride that’s only just getting started.
