“Rock n roll is mean, unsafe and unpredictable, but that’s what makes it so great. Alvie and the Breakfast Pigs embrace this beast. So for those who like being wrapped in your warm cozy blankets, there’s a never-ending cesspool of EDM DJ’s and Three Mile Pilots out there to tickle your stodgy souls . But for the rest of us that still like sweat, grit and fire in our music: Alvie and the Breakfast Pigs are here and ready to kick over some troughs.”

Today, The Breakfast Pigs stand proud as one of the city's last bastions of rock, a testament to their resilience and unwavering passion. Their latest album, "Loud and Fast," released on July 31st, 2020, signifies a bold, exploratory stride in their musical journey. This dynamic two-single release finds them expanding their lyrical horizons, tackling wider societal issues beyond their personal experiences. Brimming with political discord, frenetic energy, and an undercurrent of wanderlust, it's a sonic expedition into the realm of imagination and a candid exploration of the contentious history of their country's southern border.
The Breakfast Pigs' signature sound has resonated across notable festivals, including South by Southwest in Austin, the Underground Music Showcase in Denver, and Balanced Breakfast in San Francisco. They've shared the limelight with esteemed acts such as The Down and Outlaws, The Dirty Few, No Small Children, Autonomics, Authority Zero, and The Yawpers.

Bursting with amplified energy and propelled by relentless momentum, Alvie & The Breakfast Pigs embody the raw essence of rock n' roll. They didn't set out to revolutionize the genre, but rather to serve the time-honored, high-octane melodies that defined generations. Their music, akin to the hearty satisfaction of burgers and fries, permeates the dive bars of San Francisco and fuels the city's insatiable appetite for rock.They are the rock band San Francisco deserves, echoing the city’s resilience and eclectic spirit.
In 2015, they traded the desert heat of Phoenix for the vibrant pulse of San Francisco, lured by the legendary music scene. Their arrival was a counterpoint to the exodus of artists fleeing the tech industry's encroachment and the soaring cost of living. Unfazed by the intimidating rents and steep prices, The Breakfast Pigs remained steadfast in their blue collar pursuit of their musical dreams.
