Lawson // Roads

Download @ Amazon.co.uk | Download @ iTunes

It’s hard to believe that it’s nearly been 2 years since these guys last released anything. But now Lawson are ready to return to the music scene, bringing Roads as the first single from their follow up album to the great debut that was Chapman Square.

Roads reminds us a little bit of Train but at the same time, as if they’ve taken the best bits of their previous singles and blended them together. It doesn’t always work however and the verses seem to lack something that suddenly appears in the chorus. Don’t get us wrong, we can still see this being a great little summer tune and likely to get fans singing along at gigs.

They are coming up with the ‘difficult’ second album…is this a hint at what’s to come or just trying something different? Only time will tell but we’ll be keeping an eye out for the album
