Hailed by The Independent’s music guru Simon Price as the band to fill The White Stripes’ empty shoes, The Lost Souls Club are a UK band who play rock laden with reverb, fuzz and big hooks placing them alongside the likes of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Black Keys and The Jesus and The Mary Chain. There’s a heartfelt melancholy in every song making it the perfect soundtrack for a long drive through the night along a lonely road with nothing but heartache for company… The Lost Souls Club also have an alter ego-a brooding acoustic side that is just as dark as their rock n roll persona, but with a naked intensity that echoes the sounds of Nick Cave and Johnny Cash.
The band have also just signed to JL Booking agency (Nine Black Alps, Spotlight Kid, Passenger) and this spring are touring High Noon, their debut EP, released to glowing reviews here and across both Asia and Australia where they toured in 2012. The theme running through the Ep, and indeed where the name High Noon originates, is the idea of a showdown between the two, opposing sides of oneself: arrogance and insecurity. The mirrored image on the cover echoes this idea of duality. High Noon was self-produced and recorded apart from opening track, ‘Romeo’ which was produced by the eminent Sam Bell (Editors, REM, Bloc Party). With BBC Introducing already hailing them as a ‘Band to Watch’ in 2013, this year is set to be a big one for The Lost Souls Club.
SIMON PRICE: (The Independent)
“Romeo has a great opening riff and vocal line. The lyrical themes are suitably noir…so they sit alongside bands like The White Stripes and The Black Keys….and look like a junior Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds”
MISCHA PEARLMAN (Freelance journalist – KERRANG, Clash, Record Collector)“Perfect to soundtrack both wild Friday nights of excess and the gloomy sad Sundays that always follow, the likes of Kiss Away The Sun and Romeo are monochromatic slices of life that retrace and then reinvent those such as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Raveonettes who came before them. The guitars are fuzzy, the vocals sleazy, the songs themselves urgent and paranoid, almost as if they’re scared of the impending sunrise. It’s thrilling stuff.”
KERRANG
“Their dark, pulsing rock swirls with a sinister malice that sets the tone perfectly...”
UBER ROCK
“The Lost Souls Club maybe a musical home for the heartbroken and dreamers, but on this showing I think they'll very soon need to start booking larger venues in which to hold their meetings, as they are about to explode.
PURE RAWK
"With hints of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Jesus and Mary Chain, as well as NIN-edge that remains, there’s a real intensity that really makes it hard to turn away. There’s something dark and wrong going on here, but at the same time its irresistible… you just want to reach out and touch it."
