| “Righteous slab of Stooge-y rock’n’roll blues and infectious guitars from new Brighton geezers.” NME
“Winner of Fresh Meat and we think you (the listeners) made a good choice, we’re loving this on the show.” Zane Lowe, Radio 1
“The Lodge trade in those killer blows where everything is recorded in the red and hark back to those James Gang greats. 'Piece of Cake' is a 60's garage nugget that's driven by a raw analogue sound whilst the flip, 'slapback', is a dirty stomp that will put the Lodge instantly in the same league as the Dirtbombs and Thee Headcoats.” Rough Trade
“With whirlwind riffs and a freakout rhythm section - this is shambolic home-grown garage, complete with muffled distorted vocals, pounding drums and guitars the Strokes would be fond of.” Angryape.com |
“Fusing the primal rock ’n’ roll roar of The Stooges with the quirky post-punk of Wire and Gang Of Four, The Lodge strut, preen and wave their colours like true rock ’n’ roll peacocks. This is the kind of record that inspires you to switch off the damn computer and get out on the streets and find some fun. So do it.” New Noise
“Bawling vocals push the meters into the red, as drums with cardboard skins strut across the arcing bend of the blues, mangled out of shape by this surly group of alley cats.”
The Source, Brighton
“As adrenaline-pumping a slice of jerky, Stooges-esque art-punk as you could wish for.”
BBC Collective
“Convincingly grizzled garage rock from a Brighton quartet who appear to have borrowed Mark Lanegan and convinced him to have gone indie disco. Intriguing.” Teletext |
