Lanterns – On Tour
LANTERNS – Fall Shows
——————————————————-
* West Coast tour begins tomorrow (Nov 06 – 22)
* Apocalypse Youth out now
——————————————————-
LANTERNS rise triumphantly from the hollowed indie rock grounds of San Diego with Apocalypse Youth, a fiery collection of noisy pop songs. Beginning tomorrow, the band will take their show on the road for a quick West Coast swing in support of the new five-song EP.
As the opening chords of distortion ring from Apocalypse Youth and the drums build to a sharp climax, there is a genuine feeling of excitement. The four young men of Lanterns do nothing to quell that anticipation across the EP’s raging sound. The band washes its songs in waves of glorious feedback, yet buried right beneath the surface lay shards of penetrating melody. With anthemic guitars and powerful, thought-provoking lyrics, Lanterns is a beacon of hope in this crowded musical landscape. Imagine if you will And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead without all the pretension weighing them down.

Lanterns has an awesome knack for writing an infectious song, layering distorted shoegaze fuzz, pounding beats, shredding licks and singalong shouts over pop hooks. – All Rights Reserved
