Kyra are a four-piece rock band from the Lake District, and These Precious Things is the bands new EP. Recorded in October 2009 at Long Wave Studio, Cardiff, the EP was produced by Romesh Dodangoda (Funeral For a Friend, The Blackout, Kids In Glass Houses).These Precious Things is a painfully passionate look at love, loss, trust, and hope. Fueled by the heart felt lyrics and the distorted assault of guitars there is nothing comfortable or mundane about These Precious Things. Picture the ferocity of Refused, the unharnessed emotion of GlassJaw and the pop sensibilities of Taking Back Sunday and you get close to what Kyra is all about.

After years of tight-knit friendship and playing music, Kyra are ready to establish themselves as one of the most promising unsigned bands in the UK. With years of shows under their belt sharing the stage with bands such as Young Guns & My Passion (at the warm up shows for the Kerrang! Tour 2010), Funeral for a Friend, Gallows, The Ghost of a Thousand, and Failsafe. Kyra have consistently turned heads with their energetic and enthralling live show. Their on-stage presence and enthusiasm have earned them praise from fans and piers alike and have definitely made them a band to watch out for.

These Precious Things received many positive reviews from music press both online and in magazines including a review from Darren Taylor, Rock Sound Magazine - "It's all about location, location, location. If Kyra were from Wales they'd probably be signed up to a record deal by now". The EP also caught the attention of BBC Radio Lancashire and after many weeks of Kyra’s tracks being played on the show, Kyra were invited into the studio for a live BBC introducing session.

Future Plans: Kyra have recently shot their first music video for the track These Precious Things with the production company Sitcom Soldiers (Young Guns, Deaf Havana, Fight Star, Futures), the band is currently in talks with PR companies in preparation for it's release.
