Alvarez Kings are a prominent band in the UK music scene who’s most notable performances include the 40 date US Vans Warped Tour and some of the most famous music festivals in the world including SXSW festival in Texas, CMJ in NYC, O2 Wireless Festival in Hyde Park and Isle Of Wight Festival. Famed for their energetic live shows and charismatic performances the self-acclaimed PROGRESSIVE POP band, have been tipped by many as the next big thing to break out of Yorkshire. It is this live show that has garnered them nationwide media attention, with NME magazine describing them as having “bucket-loads of attitude with cut-throat guitar riffs and a gritty charm” and The Guardian newspaper saying “Sheffield’s Alvarez Kings are a must see. Their energetic progressive pop sound will get everyone dancing.” Their local reputation and success has gained them two major coveted awards. They recently won “Best Band” at the Toast Magazine Awards and “Best Live Band” at the Sheffield Scenester Awards. Their debut single, ‘The Sequel’, was released in March 2010 and went on to sell out within a few weeks. The second release, ‘Patience Is Strength’ EP, was released on 11th April 2011 featuring 5 tracks which again went on to sell out. This release was supported by a two week European tour taking in countries such as Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. The press have touted Alvarez Kings as the next break out band from their native South Yorkshire with a new EP ‘Cold Conscience’ released on 18th June. This was backed by another two week European tour taking in Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and France in February 2012.

Next on the agenda for the Kings was a month long tour of America and Canada in support of Cold Con-science being released over there including the infamous CMJ Festival in the heart of New York City October 2012. With a virtually sold out support tour from Toronto spanning cross country to finish in Vancouver November 2012. And what a successful trip over to New York that was with the New York Daily News claiming the band, “the most outgoing, promising of the acts…that could buck the trend and let a decidedly U.K.-sound make it in the U.S.” The brand new single Postcards From Berlin will be released worldwide on September 23rd on all major digital download sites.
Alvarez Kings – No Resolve Lyrics:
You love to be adored
Love lost and no resolve
I can’t give what I can’t afford
Love lost and no resolve
Watch it burn watch it dissolve
Love lost and no resolve
You don’t love me but you love to be loved
And I just give, give, give till I’ve got nothing more
Watch it die watch it evolve
Love lost and no resolve
Restless love reminds me of the truth I’m without you
Reckless eyes you’ll recognize I’m still in love with you
It all true, its all true, its all true, its all true
This ship sailed from your heart
Was it the distance home or the miles apart?
Watch it sink, watch it fall love lost and no resolve.
Restless love reminds me of the truth I’m without you
Reckless eyes you’ll recognize I’m still in love with you
It all true, its all true, its all true, its all true
I often dreamt we’d co-exist
Our worlds collide and do not fit
Life’s too short to live regrets
My hearts still beating in my chest for love
Restless love reminds me of the truth I’m without you
Reckless eyes you’ll recognize I’m still in love with you
I often dreamt we’d co-exist
Our worlds collide and do not fit
Life’s too short to live regrets
My hearts still beating in my chest for love
It all true, its all true, its all true, its all true
