“Played and sung with such vigour and conviction it just sweeps you up and carries you along” – Tom Robinson (BBC 6 Music)
“He walks it like he talks it; the guy is the real deal” – Ralph Mclean (BBC Radio Ulster)
“Best voice I’ve heard in years. Alex blew me away” – Bonehead (Ex-Oasis)
“Alex Lipinski channels the best tones of John Lennon and Roy Orbison and makes them his own. His writing is crisp, confessional and superb” – (Rock ‘n’ Reel Magazine).
“Lipinski’s future looks bright. He’s got the voice, the songs, and youth on his side” – Mick Taylor (Guitarist Magazine)
“Lipinski has a masterpiece of an album here” – Lisa Torem (Penny Black Music)
The first thing that hits you is the voice. Alex Lipinski’s caressing sympathy, full-throated resentment, and the raw rockabilly excitement of earliest Elvis have grabbed unwary listeners at clubs from the West Country to Krakow, Philadelphia and New York, since the 25-year-old moved from Weston-Super-Mare to London over three years ago. He has followed in the footsteps of his heroes Lennon and Dylan to London’s Tin Pan Alley and the Chelsea Hotel, soaking up experience evident in his urgent live conviction. The crafted intimacy of his debut album catches much of the mature musical control and adult yearning that already sets him apart.
His debut album ‘Lonesome Train’ was released in the UK last year on independent label ‘Blue Chameleon’, and has gained strong reviews and critical recognition in the National press, both in the UK and in foreign waters, as well as National radio airplay. BBC6 presenter Tom Robinson recently selected ‘Lonesome Train’ as one of his tracks of the week.
For the past year Alex has been gigging extensively across the UK, both solo and with his band. His music has gained a number of respectable fans, including Ex-Oasis guitarist Bonehead (who’s new band ‘Parlour Flames’ Alex has been supporting on tour across the UK for the last couple of months), Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Gary Powell (Ex-Libertines), Steve Cradock (Ocean Colour Scene), as well as The Royle Family’s Ralf Little, former Aston Villa manager John Gregory, and many others.
Alex’s forthcoming single ‘Lonely Kid’ is due to be released later this year, followed by a live EP, recorded at the legendary Sawmills studio in Cornwall. He is due to head to Berlin to record with Anton Newcombe within the next few months. For more information on Alex Lipinski, visit his websites listed below.
