Honing their craft through a series of house parties and busking, LLC developed their style inspired by the country sounds of Northern Mississippi. Signing to Alive Records in 2007, the band released their first national album the following year with ‘Bring Yo Ass to the Table’. Promoting the album on their first European venture and subsequent shows with Black Heavy Diamonds, Robert Belfour and playing the prestigious Warped Tour, Left Lane Cruiser have perfected their live performances while winning over new fans. Going forth with their motto ‘Let your soul drive what you do’, Left Lane Cruiser play with earnest passion, sharing their greasy rock infused with raw blues distinctive sound and heaps of attitude. With blistering and brutal guitar solos and dirty rock vibes, LLC are captivating from the word go. Evans’ raspy and countrified vocals pierce straight through the heavy symptomatic drum beats through tracks such as ‘Lost My Mind’, ‘Big Momma’ and ‘Amerika’. Making use of skateboard slides and cow bells adds to the intricacies of the hillbilly sound that LLC do so well. You can’t help but find yourself stomping your feet to the rhythm and clapping along. Left Lane Cruiser are gutsy, loud and raucous whilst captivating minds and soul of all who are present.
