Lowrider

If they’d stop trying to be everything to everybody and leave that job to Maroon 5, this could have had the longevity to put them amongst the elite, with Black Stones being tagged as one of the best albums of 2013.

The guys experienced quite the culture shock when they toured the states.

“I think the appreciation for music over there is very different to here as well. I’m not sure why it is, but people are really intent on paying attention to music over there."

There are still some truly likeable gems, like the imbued danger in What Happened To You and the so daggy it’s cool falsetto and funk keys of Little Darling.

Lowrider have a massive future as a quality pop act both here and overseas.

Album out next month
