Gleefully sharing their moniker with an infamous old school South American gang, South Yorkshire’s Alvarez Kings summon pop power through timeless analog synth and guitar magic. Brothers Simon [vocals, guitar] and Paul Thompson [bass, keys, backup vocals], Aidan Thompson [guitar, keys]— have quietly built up an international buzz since their 2012 formation.

BBC Radio proclaimed “No Resolve” the “Single of the Year,” while they impressed audiences at Firefly, Summefest and Isle of Wight Festival in addition to show-stopping stints on the Vans Warped Tour in 2013 and 2015 and support slots on tours with Melanie Martinez, PVRIS, Three Eye Blind and Switchfoot. 

Their 2015 EP, Fear To Feel, expanded their foothold in the U.S. Spotify featured the title track on coveted playlists such as The Indie Mix and Ultimate Indie Playlist, notching 40K streams in less than 12 hours and eventually amassing over 1M and counting. Meanwhile, they drew acclaim from Billboard, Huffington Post, and more. 

Preceded by the introductory focus track “Sleepwalking Pt.II” their full-length debut, Somewhere Between [Sire/Warner Bros. Records], was released June 2017. Produced by Grammy Award winning producer Carlos De La Gaza of Paramore and Wolf Alice fame the album went on to cement the band as a serious contender for their unique brand of indie-pop gems and a growing army of dedicated fans around the world. The album was backed up with headline tours in the US, Europe and the UK. 

Fast forward to 2019 and Alvarez Kings are set to release their brand new single Invincible in May 2019, which they described as "Phase II" of their journey with a host of other singles set to follow in the interim.
