We the Kings is the self-titled debut studio album by American rock band We the Kings.

Background

We the Kings formed in 2005 while its member attended Manatee High School.[6] The band's line-up consisted of vocalist Travis Clark, guitarist Hunter Thomsen, bassist Drew Thomsen. and drummer Danny Duncan.[6] In summer, the group toured with Don't Die Cindy.[6] PureVolume, a place where people could upload their music, helped the band's popularity.[6]

According to Travis Clark, the album was "really guitar driven, with those poppy catchy choruses".[7]

Release

In September, the group went on the School's for Fools tour across the US,[8] alongside Valencia, Just Surrender and Metro Station. However, partway through the tour Valencia had to drop off the tour due to their vocalist Shane Henderson having strep throat. As a result, Just Surrender headlined the rest of the dates.[9] The group supported Boys Like Girls on their US headlining tour, dubbed Tourzilla, from late September to late October.[10] It was released on October 2, 2007.[11] From mid-January to early March 2008, the band supported Cobra Starship on their North America tour.[12] In April, the band appeared at the Bamboozle Left festival.[13] In June, the band supported Cobra Starship on their US tour, dubbed Really Really Really Ridiculously Good Looking Tour Out to Warped Tour Tour.[14]

Between June and August, the band performed on the Warped Tour.[15] In October and November, the band supported the Academy Is... on their headlining tour of the US.[16] In October, a re-recorded version of "Check Yes Juliet" was posted online. The re-recording's lyrics were altered to include a reference to Tampa Bay Rays.[17] On December 12, a music video was released for "Secret Valentine" through the band's Myspace profile.[18] In February and March 2009, the group went on a headlining US tour, dubbed The Secret Valentine Tour, with support from the Maine, the Cab, There for Tomorrow and VersaEmerge.[19] In April, the band performed on the Bamboozle Roadshow[20] and appeared at The Bamboozle festival in early May.[21] At the end of May, the band performed at the Slam Dunk Festival.[22] In July, the band supported All Time Low on their US east coast tour.[23]
