Alvvays - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

this band deserves to be really big

Alexander Kartavtsev so do you :)

Alexander Kartavtsev hoping they won't hit the mainstream

[@pedroocm]

Why? The more people know about it and recognise their work the better. I mean, it`s nice to have this "insider" band, but that may change. I would love if my friends knew and listen to this stuff...

[@Texturas75]

We the fans are a big part of that. We should support them.

Antisocialites was an absolute masterpiece, album of the year. Terrific band

10:32 Inspiration has an expiration date "Well, songs, I feel like in their infancy are always so fresh and exciting, and as time goes on and you don't necessarily have the chance to document it the way you'd like to, there's a slight mental expiration date of nabbing it, initially. And, so if you don't do that, I find a lot of pressure in chasing that sound and that energy down."

[@GH1996]

I'm an artist and she is absolutely right. And not just with music. It also happens with drawings, paintings, poems and books. You have to act quick when the inspiration comes.

[@jessicamartinez9083]

In Undertow is so amazing. ♥♥♥♥

[@cgcolin]

It is my Platonic ideal of the music I love.

[@DaMarin94]

in dreams tonite, the "is it so naive to wonder" goes SO perfect with the melody and place in the song, It made me remember some beatles lyrics. love that song.

[@terenceoneill3075]

Dude. Excellent point. You read that phrase and think, uh, this is in a song? But you're right. She goes up in that line and peaks at the first syllable of "naive" and makes it fit seamlessly. One of the best songs I have heard in my life.

LOVE Sheridan on the drums. What a fantastic addition to an already stellar sound. Her and Kerri's backup/harmony...a true force multiplier. Also, are these people physically capable of a mediocre performance?

God, they've matured so much on their performances, I'm so proud as a fan to have followed them along their growth.

[@flowerrs8741]

Molly gets fair recognition for her other talents, but she's pretty fuckin underrated as a guitarist! She plays some cool shit and some beautiful melodic lines that are a total crux of her songs.

[@Amandanumnum]

Man, when Molly said "waste of feelings" so much tension left my body. That is now my mantra.

Modern rock and roll….? I’m sorry but you’re classifying this band as rock and roll?

[@triggerthesound767]

@@andy_182 sure they are mostly pop but they have elements of rock, especially as a live band

[@mikedelossantos4775]

@@triggerthesound767 mostly pop? I mean they sound a lot like Jesus and Mary Chain or some of the female fronted shoegaze bands, only with more melodic elements and songs that are 100x more memorable and well written. I could call them a thousand things but pop never once came to mind. Indie Rock would be a much more accurate description, no? Some of it verges on noise rock, even. In any case I have to admit they are probably my favorite band. When the self tittled came out I listened to it so much people wanted to kill me. And antisocialites was so much better. Hope blue rev continues the trend!

Kevin Cole says precisely my thoughts commenting on "Plimsoul Punks" "direct hit to the pleasure center..." Exactly! Maybe my favorite song of 2018 so far! Seeing them in SLO in a week! (As stoked for this show as I've been to see any band in a long time!)

[@madmac66]

Brilliant. Had one of those “ah that’s who sings this song” moments. Love these guys. And after listening to KEXP over the Internet for years, Kevin Cole looks way older than I imagined him in my head. I guess he has a young voice?!?! Sorry Kev mate
