His Lordship Release Debut LP Ahead Of In-Store Shows

by | Jan 26, 2024

One of the most explosive and exciting live acts to emerge from the UK in years – His Lordship – have just dropped their debut self-titled album. Produced by David Wrench and Tchad Blake (Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys) and
a tour de force of twelve frenetic, frenzied, rapturous tracks, the album includes their first offering Jackie Works For The NHS – a monster garage rock anthem with a chorus that will blow the roof off venues across the country when they head out on a run of in-store shows later this month.

Totalling six shows, the run will conclude in a wild, intimate affair at London’s Banquet Records on 1st February. Check out the video for new track Joyboy below:

A maximum rock ’n’ roll trio conceived during lockdown to blow the cobwebs away and remind us of what music has been missing, the band are made up of the powerhouse duo of James Walbourne (The Pretenders, The Pogues, The Rails) and Kristoffer Sonne (Chrissie Hynde, Willie Nelson), the band’s first single All Cranked Up hit the 6 Music B-List last summer, and then saw the release of its follow up Buzzkill – an angular, twisted ear worm produced by David Wrench (Courtney Barnett, XX, Frank Ocean). Check out Buzzkill below:

His Lordship sold out their debut UK tour in July, and then joined Jason Isbell on a sell out European tour culminating with a roof raising show at London’s Eventim Apollo. As well as headlining London’s Lafayette, the band hit the road last year, including a sold-out headline show at London’s Garage in November.

Britainicana Is Louder That Americana: Westside Cowboy Stampede Through Portsmouth

Manchester-based quartet Westside Cowboy have only been together since 2023, but have already caused a stir. They have even coined a genre of their own – Britainicana. Even though the name suggests US country with a miserable and sarcastic British twist, they have created something much more fun.

Lacuna Coil @ Stylus, Leeds (John Hayhurst)

Midweek Metal Mass: Lacuna Coil Blaze Through Leeds Stylus

Italian goth heavyweights Lacuna Coil turn Tuesday into a blackout ritual at Leeds Stylus, backed by a fired-up opening assault from Florida bruisers Nonpoint.

Nonpoint hit the stage like they’ve been itching for it all day. Elias Soriano stalks the mic with clipped precision, spitting hooks and commands in equal measure. Robb Rivera goes straight for the gut behind the kit, while Adam Woloszyn grinds out bass lines with industrial weight. Guitarist’s Jaysin Zeilstra and Rasheed Thomas add bite and distortion, feeding the noise without ever tipping it into clutter. The band sound more drilled-in than on their last UK run — tighter, sharper, still proudly abrasive.
