Alvvays

In April 2016, Alvvays was riding high on the success of their self-titled debut album, released in 2014. This record, which features infectious tracks like 'Archie, Marry Me,' helped establish their dreamy, jangle pop sound that resonated with fans and critics alike. By the time they performed at the Next of Kin CBC Music Festival in Dallas, the band was gaining attention for their catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Notably, this live recording exemplifies their ability to connect with audiences, blending vibrant energy with introspective themes. The festival gig was a pivotal moment, showing how the band was transitioning from an emerging act to one with a growing fanbase. Fun fact: the band's name, Alvvays, is often mispronounced, but it's derived from the word 'always,' hinting at their consistent charm in the indie pop scene.
