   About Alvarez Kings

Alvarez Kings - Sponsored by Drawmer Electronics

Simon Thompson – Rhythm Guitar / Lead Vocals
Will Pashley – Lead Guitar / Backing Vocals
Paul Thompson – Bass Guitar / Backing Vocals
Rich Walker – Drums / Backing Vocals

So many guitars and post Libertines impersonators, all looking for their five minutes of fame while poufing their hair into sky high configurations of hairspray. Yet sometimes ears are pricked towards something decisive and skilled. A quirky set of songs with tub-thumping base lines, skuzzy guitars and punchy harmonies, all brought to you by four delicious men who are unafraid to enjoy their musical task.

Labels have been pressing the band for some time now but the boys want time to perfect their tunes without too much pressure. Now the tracks are finally shaping into zippy close-knit creations. “Despair on the Stairs” is deliberately aggressive punchy indie floor filler while “38 Miles” is an invitation to radio play. The chemistry both live and behind the scenes has helped to create some instant classics with the groovy crowd pleaser “You, Me, Them, Us” and the unique sound of “Blood on the Pavement”.

Simon attests to this:I’m really pleased with what we have, and it means our live shows really up the ante. What are you doing if every second isn’t completely driven, fantastic and lunatic?

Indeed the band’s explosive live show is selling the band far and wide. Fresh from supporting bands such as The Enemy, the sheer animal fun that exudes from the close knit gang ensures a dancing crowd everywhere they go. Volatile, tapped and ready to freak, Alvarez Kings are on a precipice that cannot fail to see them pummel the airwaves with passion and precision.

What They’re Saying:

stepping stones of refreshing brilliance, floating on a pool of bland-bands around them” - SANDMAN

bucket-loads of attitude with cut-throat guitar riffs and a gritty charm” - NME

We've got a proper good feeling about this lot - and we're rarely wrong” – EXPOSED MAGAZINE

"One thing's for sure, Alvarez Kings are Yorkshire's next big thing. And if you aren't already listening to them, then I strongly recommend you do" - RE:PLAY MAGAZINE
