Krooked Kings on In Another Life, Indie Rock Growth, and Finding Their Sound

In this episode of Fuegostine’s Music Club, Matt Firestine sits down with all members of Krooked Kings to discuss the band’s upcoming album In Another Life and the creative evolution that shaped it.

The band shares how working with a new producer helped them move from a bedroom-style recording approach toward a fuller, live-band sound, and how increased collaboration changed their songwriting process. The conversation explores themes of introspection, friendship, creative growth, and the realities of being a modern independent band navigating social media and promotion.

Krooked Kings also discuss the music that shaped them — from classic rock and jam bands to indie staples — along with album recommendations, favorite songs from their own catalog, and how their approach to making records has changed across four studio albums.

A thoughtful conversation about creative trust, band dynamics, and building a lasting identity in indie rock.
