Name: Machines (DEMO) by VOID // GIST
Duration: 6 min 22 s
Description: Recorded on 16/11/2014 in our rehearsal room with 2 cheap mics.

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."

We Are Unseen – www.weareunseen.co.uk
“High Noon is a rare release, it is bold and innovative. This is a band that knows what it wants and has the talent to do it.”
Bring The Noise UK – www.bringthenoiseuk.com
“…Velvetine vocals fuse power, emotion and passion in a dangerous cocktail that disarms the listener easily. Don’t even try to resist The Lost Souls Club: once you get to know this music, it’ll remain in your veins forever. Verdict: If you have been looking for a music gem, you have found it in the name of The Lost Souls Club.”

Musiceyz – www.musiceyz.co.uk
“There is nothing that I like better than doing a review of a band that you can feel in your bones is going to go one to do big things and The Lost Souls Club is definitely one of those bands. In a music scene where there are so many bands doing much the same thing this foursome really stand out for me.”

The Ringmaster – www.ringmasterreviewintroduces.wordpress.com
“High Noon is an excellent release which deserves to set the band on the path to the widest recognition. If it will time will of course reveal but The Lost Souls Club can hardly do much more to sway the listener.”

A3 Online - www.a3musiconline.com
“…It's wicked! And the next song starts, and there's a guitar solo before the vocals have come in. It's called 'We're All Gonna Die Anyway' and the prospect of inevitable mortality is presented with careless abandon. You probably get the picture by now. If you like rock music all tunes and swagger and hair in your eyes this is your thing. And if you don't, at least you know you're not gonna like it straight away, because everything this band does shouts ROCK N' ROLL like it wouldn't be obvious.”

AAA Music Access All Areas -  www.AAAmusic.co.uk
“Right from the first track ‘Romeo’ the music has a great tone: shooting, bass-rich and head-noddingly catchy. The vocals are brilliantly careless and cool.”

Call Upon The Author – www.callupontheauthor.com
“…High Noon is a wonderful EP that captures your imagination which is in no small way due to the unique, musical chemistry that these guys seem to have formulated. Each of the five beautifully forged tracks leaps out, grabbing at you with their dark, entrancing and rhythmic claws pulling you into their world. “


Dark Compass – www.darkcompass.com
“…It’s got a bluesy feel to it, in the way White Stripes or Black Keys have a bluesy feel. Foot stomping, head shaking, air-guitaring. Yup. It builds too. I like a builder. The second guitar because more, er, well MORE, and is almost breaking in its distortion in the final lead. Love it.”


Echoes And Dust – www.echoesanddust.com
“…‘Kiss Away the Sun’ begins. It is a sun drenched psychedelic tune not unlike anything Madchester around about 1992. Guitars weep in and out of the mix and vocals take on a proto-ecstasy sound. This is good and worth the admission alone.”

Punk Prospect – Live Review www.punkprospect.com
“…This was an impressive and passionate performance which left most of us breathless. The Lost Souls Club should be on your list of bands to see before you die. (10/10)”

Grumpy Rocker – www.grumpyrocker.co.uk
“…what really excited me about The Lost Souls Club is that this band have the potential to be huge. I'm not talking stadium selling huge, but there's something about their High Noon EP that cries out for a bigger stage, that talks of a band that has the ability to be the best new band to watch out for this year and beyond.”

Headwarmer – www.headwarmer.net
“…High Noon is a bright prospect from a band that promises much.  Remember where you heard it first.  “

Louder Than War – www.louderthanwar.com
“…The “fuzzy rock” aspect of the music and vocals creates an alluring appeal and simply leaves you wanting more. ‘Romeo’ proves to be a great opening track, which sets the tone – and the bar – nicely for the rest of the EP.”


The Midlands Rocks – www.themidlandsrocks.com
“…a great summation of LSC’s uniquely British slant on the blues rock genre, hints of The Cooper Temple Clause rubbing shoulders with BMRC…  A great collection of tracks that serves as an ideal introduction to a very promising band. If any of the bands mentioned above are your bag then I recommend you get hold of this now. 8 out of 10.”

More Than The Music – www.morethanthemusic.co.uk
“…these guys are seriously damn great and definitely worth a listen (according to BBC Introducing, a Band To Watch in 2013!). The Lost Souls Club are also on tour until the end of March and if they’re playing anywhere near you, then hey, aren’t you in luck!”

Musicosis – www.musicosis.co.uk
“…Opening with a riff that mixes decadence and flair with amazing effectiveness, the listener’s attention is immediately captured. From here on, the vocals jump in, with a soulful edge and lyrics that could be interpreted as modern blues.”

Punk Prospect – www.punkprospect.com
“…The Lost Souls Club deserve to be heard, enjoyed and respected and their newest release “High Noon” beautifully justifies why.”

Pure Rawk – www.purerawk.com
“…There’s bits of Placebo in here, maybe Joy Division (although that may just be the bass heavy arrangements), The Doors in spirit but not necessarily sound. The general vibe is one of dark brooding that, once it’s drawn you in, throws you into some intense guitars and blistering rock and roll. Listen to it on repeat, and it can become a real emotional rollercoaster…”

Quip Mag – www.quipmag.com
“…For fans of the Brian Jonestown Massacre or the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club this EP will be a welcome audio-adventure for the eardurms.”

Rock Regeneration – www.rock-regeneration.co.uk
“No question about it the, EP rocks. These guys have a great sound, with some top guitar hooks, solid rhythms, and that bass line on the first couple of tracks. It is well worth checking out.”

Sound Of Confusion Blog – www.thesoundofconfusionblog.blogspot.co.uk
“…but to be honest when you've got songs as good as the electric 'We're All Gonna Die Anyway' then sounding a bit like other decent bands isn't a problem at all.”

Supajam – www.supaja.com
“…Lost Souls straddle that difficult ground of making raw blues rock that’s actually well produced and poppy, and as such should do very well indeed.”

The Black Flag – www.theblackflag.co.uk
“…All in all it’s a great little EP from a quality band, something original but still managing to be classic rock ‘n’ roll from start to finish, blowing out the cob webs left by some other bands that have gone astray of late. These guys aren’t here to replace anyone, they’re here to bring their own sound and build their own fans, I say good luck to them, 2013 is sure to be a massive year for The Lost Souls Club…”

Headwarmer Live Review – www.headwarmer.net
“…We love a committed outfit and despite still being unsigned, TLSC ooze conviction and sincerity from every sweaty pore.  They also possess the skill and style to crank out a filthy swagger with aplomb and a sense of humour to have a bloody good crack while doing it.”

Music Gets Me By Live Review – www.musicgetsmeby.com
“The great connection and passion on stage is unmissable and creates an intense and soulful atmosphere which makes seeing this band a truly enjoyable and unforgettable live experience.”

Something Gold Something New – www.something-gold-something-new.com
“It’s dark, imperfect, breakneck, chaotic and utterly made for the live arena. If they make here to Oz, I’ll be first in line.” 
Band Of Banjo Playing Badgers Blog – www.bandofbanjoplayingbadgers.blogspot.co.uk
“High Noon is just superb! Like the kind of record I have waited years to hear.”
