We're a rock n' roll band from Boston. We released our self-titled debut

album on December 15th, 2006. Here's how the Boston Metro described us:

"Lorntell's rock constitution lies somewhere between the alt-country

angles of Whiskeytown and the power-pop crush of The Replacements."

Still reeling from the hangovers of former band breakups, the usual

seriousness of bands pushing for critical acclaim was nowhere to be

found when we first met in the winter of 2005. But as nights of beer-soaked

fun snowballed into a coherent mix of driving roots rock and grief-tinged

lullabies, our habit of wearing our hearts (and influences!) on our sleeves

became easier to be proud of.

"...This is a band to keep an eye on," Kevin Finn of The Noise wrote of an

early live show, as we were refining our sound, joining big drums and

loud guitars with quieter acoustic guitar and three-part harmonies.

Opting for DIY ingenuity, we transformed our rehearsal space into a

recording studio and went to work. The result captures enough indie-rock

grit and pop hooks to make even the most melancholy of songs sound

sweet. We hope you enjoy it as much as we liked making it.

We've had the pleasure of opening for national indie favorites like

Slobberbone, Rilo Kiley, Grant Hart (ex-Husker Du), Califone and The

Damnwells, as well as friends and local greats like Jabe, The Dirty

Truckers, Favorite Atomic Hero, AM Stereo, Brett Rosenberg, Three Day

Threshold, Rooftop Suicide Club, The Kieran Ridge Band, The Marvels and

Frank Smith.
