CURIOUS VOLUME UNLEASH NEW SINGLE “FORMER KING”

Power pop charmers and indie rock risers Curious Volume have unleashed their latest single, “Former King” — a melodic, punchy anthem dripping with jangly guitars, bittersweet nostalgia, and just the right amount of angst.

From the first chord, “Former King” glides with an infectious groove, riding a tight rhythm section and shimmering guitar lines that recall the golden era of early-2000s indie, but with a modern bite. The track leans into themes of identity, ego, and the emotional fallout of losing your crown — figuratively speaking, of course.

Vocally, there’s a rawness and sincerity that elevates the whole thing, hitting that sweet spot between power pop smoothness and indie grit. Lyrically, Curious Volume take aim at the hollow throne of past glory, with lines that sting and stick.

“Former King” feels like a turning point — the sound of a band tightening its craft and making a name for itself in a crowded scene. It’s catchy, cathartic, and begging to be blasted with the windows down.

The track is available now on all streaming platforms. Curious Volume may be young in their reign, but “Former King” proves they’ve already claimed their place in the indie rock kingdom.
