(PR) Leeds, UK-based band The Lodger will be launching its first string of US dates on the east coast later this month on the heels of the release of its debut stateside album Grown-Ups and the hit blog-o-sphere tune (and genuine UK smash) Kicking Sand.On the heels of the successes of bands like The Kaiser Chiefs and The Arctic Monkeys, the north of England is fairly bursting with exciting guitar pop bands, and The Lodger is amongst the brightest hopes.
Taking its cues from fellow northerners The Smiths and The Wedding Present, The Lodger's music is classic melodic pop, fueled by sparkling hooks and plangent lyrics. The tunes are sharp and timeless, a thoroughly modern distillation of great Britpop from the 60s right up to today. Grown-Ups is a perfect introduction to the thrilling pop charms of The Lodger.
