Following up their previous single »No Ice Cubes in My Bourbon«, Italian heavy rockers The Lancasters return with a new song, »The Runner« (Retro Vox Records), that anticipates their second studio album due in 2023.

Listen to The Lancasters’s new single »The Runner« here!

About the new single, the band comments: “An ode to the peculiar courage and bravery of the common thief. This song describes the frenzy of a chase: it keeps »The Runner« just enough steps ahead of traps, the handcuffs of cops, and the grips of justice. Stealing: definitely not a good thing, but if you do it bravely enough it can become quite compelling indeed. Punk and stoner meet in London in 1977 on stage with Damned and Kyuss, with a little help from the typical disrespect of Eagles Of Death Metal.”

Biography:

Dave (Davide Chiari) kickstarted the The Lancasters project releasing a whopping nine debut tracks with Fred (Federico Mariotto) on drums and Steve (Stefano Vanoni) on bass. The project was founded to honour the purity and freedom of the rock wave that shook England between 1969 and 1971 and to achieve the sweet syncretism of the simplicity and the volumetric and rhythmic-obsessive impact that this very type of rock was known for Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Weed, Orang Utan, Rory Gallagher, Jeff Beck: all Gods who spun Dave’s turntable dry. These artists’ LPs fuelled the bout of inspiration behind the band’s first songs. Federico and Stefano were drawn into the project’s gravitational force and, as relentlessly lustful lovers of this music, became arteries of the band.

The first eponymous LP (Fuzzy Cracklins Presents, Oakland CA) and singles (Rivertale Records, IT) were released between 2019 and 2022 in the US and Europe.

In 2021, the band gained a new member: Khoti (Andrea Cotelli). And with him came mighty guitar power.

The second LP is due out in 2023.
