Fearless Vampire Killers (FVK) are a five-piece English theatrical alternative rock band formed in Beccles in 2008.

The name of the band originated from the 1967 Roman Polanski comedy horror film The Fearless Vampire Killers.

The band announced their breakup on July 4, 2016, in a Facebook post,[4] due to Kier Kemp's decision to leave.

The band's first incarnation was under the name of Remember When back in 2007, consisting of Laurence Beveridge, Kier Kemp and Shane Sumner as well as their previous drummer Luke Fairhead.

[9] Parts of their look, especially Shane Sumner's stage outfit, were influenced by steampunk as well as "turn-of-the-century France, late-1800s bohemian ideas, short waistcoats [and] a bit of the old eyeliner" according to past vocalist Kier Kemp.

"[11] The songs in the album are about "the events in the lead up to, and subsequently the repercussions, of the city’s royal palace being set on fire" and "five men [that] cross paths and get dragged into this world of monsters and crazed revolutionaries.

[12] The band announced their breakup on July 4, 2016, via a Facebook post,[4] due to Kier deciding to leave.

After several years of inactivity, a post was made on January 7, 2022, on The Obsidian Bond Facebook, hinting at further activity from the band.

[13] In early 2022, fans noticed similarities to FVK's musician and promotional style in an act called After the Flames, who released two songs on Soundcloud and teased a show at The Black Hearts in Camden, London on March 11, 2022.

[14][15][16] They cite influences such as David Bowie, Queen, Green Day,[17] Weezer, Danny Elfman, Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold, Metallica and The Kinks.

[18] A review by Rock Sound of their first EP, In Grandomina, described the tracks as "gothically inclined pop-rock songs" that "boast some decent hooks, with a new romantic sensibility spliced into the mix in a weirdly effective fashion.

[24] Altsounds featured them before the release of the album with an "In Pictures" taken at their acoustic gig at St Luke's Church.

[25] They have appeared in print in many publications, such as Big Cheese,[26][27] Rock Sound (calling them "an instant antidote to everything predictable and mundane"),[28] Artrocker[29] and Kerrang!.

The Blood Never Dries' was rated four Ks out of five by Kerrang!, who did a full-page spread on it: in the review, they labelled them as "potential stars of the future.

[34] Then ex-guitarist and vocalist Kier Kemp appeared on Channel Four news[35] in a brief segment on 4 April 2013 about attacks against members of "alternative sub-cultures" being classed as hate crimes.

In April 2012, they were announced as a support act for William Control, lead singer of Aiden Wil Francis' side-project, on the UK leg of his UK/Euro 2012 tour The New Faith.

[44] In August, it was announced they were set to join William Control on the North American "Revel Without A Cause Tour" in 2013.

[54] The band also announced that they would have been playing Leeds and Reading Festival for the first time in August 2016, followed by Butserfest in September 2016, however they have been pulled from the lineup due to their split.
