began work on their first full album

The band’s unexpectedly quick rise to popularity left them in a rush to create more music to sustain their frequent touring. In January 2010, the band began work on their first full album. The band once again chose to work with Weller as a producer, and recorded their first full album while still continuing their extensive touring. Their first order was to record and release a single right away to capitalize on their recent high-profile live shows, which ended up being the track “Winter Kiss”, released in the same month. The song was well-received, with BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe praising it as “The Hottest Record in the World”. Further singles “Sons of Apathy” and “Crystal Clear” were released in April and July respectively while the band worked on completing the album. The debut album, All Our Kings Are Dead , was released under their own label called Live Forever on 10 July 2010 and peaked at No. 43 in the UK Albums Chart , and No. 3 in both the UK Rock and Indie album charts. Additional singles “Stitches” and ” Weight of the World ” were also released in promotion of the album. While all the singles received moderate radio play, both “Crystal Clear” and “Weight of the World” managed to chart, peaking at ninth and twenty-seventh respectively on the UK Rock Singles chart.
