The Lumineers - best known for their song used in the Bing advert (2012) - are a little
leaning towards our home-grown Mumford and Sons in
their style and delivery but we must confess our soft spot for them.
They’re nonabrasive
and draw you in with their near jubilation that are drawn from gloomier
origins: Submarines, Dead Sea, and Charlie Boy fitting for this band
aspires to be folk rock and the lyrics, though a little watered down, are still
moving and heart felt we feel. The jubilant trio who claim there is no err in
their melodies nor lack of soul in their lyrics are Wesley Schultz (main
vocals), Jeremiah Fraites (drums) and Neyla Pekarek (cello). The Lumineers are
a great band and it’s hard not love the Americana style they display!
We like their lyrical stories which transport us
back to early 20th century Flappers, love affairs and war and strife
(not over-weighing the hopeful romanticism of the former). They’re
endearing, likeable with substance
sufficient.

Stubborn Love from their self-titled debut The Lumineers
If you like what
you’ve seen then book tickets to see them next month in the UK before they all
sell out here!
