Biography:
Alterkicks were formed through adverts in shops in Merseyside and Cheshire. Though based in Liverpool, the band are drawn from far and wide. Ditching successful careers in programming, teaching and being on the dole, Alterkicks began to focus on their music and getting themselves in front of people in 2003.
Ever impressed by the songwriting and shape-shifting of bands like Love, Radiohead, Bowie and the Kinks, they have rapidly managed to create a set that is winning friends and praise across the UK.

Alterkicks are an amazing band, and I really hope they get big, because they deserve it
much.

Verse.
Play chords as barre chords.
C
I would only stop when I've had enough,
F
She would only laugh when she's feeling good,
Am
Crouching on a step with a sorry look,
G
Thinking that I don't really love her enough,
C
Sometimes I take a walk just to shake it off,
F
Holding out my hands praying, I'm too soft,
Am
Living in a bubble will it ever pop,
G
Clinging by my fingers to the highest rock,
G
Clinging by my fingers to the highest rock.

Beaten all day 'cos I'm outta' shape,

Im scribbling always by firelight,

Caught you in the car and you made it right,

She was holding too tight just to feel alive,

She was holding too tight just to feel alive,

She was holding too tight just to feel alive
