Experimental garage rocker No Kingdom is dropping its debut EP, Like A Fire, which delivers four original tracks and one punk-infused rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “The Partisan.” No Kingdom began last year when the lead singer of fellow local band Beat Up helped guitarist and vocalist Bob Jesus Alvarez and drummer Dan Whitman meet, and the two began jamming together. Whitman played in another band, Gebidan, with bassist Mike Patton, who he then invited to their jams. The three bonded over their punk/rock credentials, Alvarez having played with Deaf Condors, Whitman with Here Be Monsters and Magyar, and Patton with legendary Orange County, CA band The Middle Class. Whitman’s band Magyar, a math rock and shoegaze trio fronted by Eric Horvath, and indie power-rock trio Hunger Anthem will open the EP release show.
