‘The Meteors are Coming’ – Venue Magazine Album review
Zips in on an express banjo instrumental thrum, giving way to Band-like organ and accordion bounce in track two, wherein we’re introduced to Alex Studer’s dreaming gas station attendant voice, a bruised romantic intoning “I’ll watch the leaves come off the trees, I’ll wish the wind would let them be.”
This is desert plains music, all long roads and rails to the horizon, oft-hard guitar adding riven steel to the country mix. ‘Shooting Gold’s sticky fingered Stones balladry affords a rare break from songs urgently whipping along, pistons pumping, like flashing blue lights are gaining in the rearview mirror.
Thrillingly distinct, brilliantly produced, this is a masterful debut.

Mark from Howlin’ Lord at St Werburgh’s May Day Celebration
Mark from Howlin’ Lord kicks off his solo tour with a daytime show at St Werburghs City Farm May Day Celebration, through a battery powered PA, drinking stinging nettle beer and pissing on hay bales.. Needless to say he was right at home.

Killing Moon Ltd – TRACK OF THE DAY: HOWLIN’ LORD “YOU AGAIN”
We’re in a rush right now. We can’t think of any mildly amusing anecdotes to fill in the first half of this feature to gently lead you into an explanation as to why in particular we’re digging today’s featured track. We also haven’t eaten much today, nor have we drank the bazillion gallons of water that you’re supposed to in an average day. Don’t care, we gotta bust a move. Got shit to do.
Howlin’ Lord are a band from Bristol, which we have visited once for a relative’s stag do last year. They write, record and perform bluegrass-sentric folk tunes that cruise effortlessly over a seamlessly-flowing vocal melody, coupled with some solid rhythm action. For context, just picture Johnny Cash and The Eagles in the front seat; Tom Williams and The Boat and Frank Turner in the back seat.
Having been garnished in UK industry interest in particular over the last few months following several releases, 2011 is set to be “the one” for this trio, with appearances at several UK festivals, including Glastonbury, confirmed, locked down, sorted, done and dusted.
The big question is, following these appearances and stepping into the limelight – which seat will they take?

‘GOLD FURY’ on iTunes & Amazon
Howdy folks…
Howlin’ Lord’s album is now available from iTunes, Amazon as well as most major online retailers..
However the best place to get yours is from the shop section on this site, putting your orders in here directs most of the money back to the bands, bypassing the fat cats who would otherwise cream off our meagre profits. Which is after all what we’re here for, to support and sustain artists we like so they can continue making the music we love.
Peace out
LPR
