The King Blues departed on their “London Brawling tour” (10 April until 5 May) along with four different support bands: Mouthwash (all gigs), Moral Dilemma, The Meow Meows and Dirty Revolution. Most nights of the tour the band invited a speaker on stage, including Sophie Lancaster ‘s mother speaking for the S.O.P.H.I.E. foundation. (The King Blues had S.O.P.H.I.E. bands available on this tour.) The band also played gigs for Love Music Hate Racism . On 8 August 2010 they played at the Hevy Music Festival near Folkestone . During this time, the band showcased songs planned for the forthcoming album Punk & Poetry . However, much of this material, such as “Kissing Frogs” and “We Will Never Grow Old” was shelved due to the band finding inspiration from the UK’s anti-cuts protests and riots, and the Arab Spring , which led to them writing new material such as “I Want You”, “We Are Fucking Angry” and “Set The World On Fire”.
