Biography
REVIEWS of our debut CD: NLMS…And that Old Time Living Room Sound
"Together, the boys create a rich, rollicking take on old-fashioned rock, rolling together the big, booming harmonies of Buddy Holly with the winding guitar work of American Beauty and the witticisms of Bob Dylan."
INTRIGUING SOUNDS OF NLMS
- Brian Rademaekers, The Fishtown Star
"Shambling country-Folk Goodness Culled from the Oldest of Schools"
UM…DROP 2008 ROUNDUP (Top 10 Local Releases)
- DOUG WALLEN, Philly Weekly
"This young philly band knows the secret to straddling the classic/jam/indie divide: It's gotta be catchy, like sing-along-everybody-now-c'mon catchy. Peppy beats, twangy guitars and Jamie Olson's moonshine vocals help North Lawrence Midnight Singers hit you the same place the Wilburys or the Connells used to. "
SOUND ADVICE
- Patrick Rapa, Philadelphia City Paper
"On their song "All Day All Night," Philly fivesome North Lawrence Midnight Singers call to mind the Replacements when they went down to Memphis to record with Jim Dickinson: Whiskey–and–cigarette–shaped vocals from a punk heart merging with rockabilly backbeats, country guitar twang and a potent dose of classic R&B soul. The ghosts of Sun Studios live in several of NLMS’ other tunes, and when they say they’re fond of ”all the cats who made up the Traveling Wilburys,” they’re not kidding, though they certainly handle those collective influences with care."
