Nottingham ’s LORDS ( Elvis Beetham Wallace – drums; Philip Welding - vocals, guitar and Chris Summerlin - guitar ) belong to a new school of bands that ignore the old rock rulebook. Their brand new album, Everyone Is People mixes up the unpredictability (and under-appreciated tenderness) of Captain Beefheart, the unashamed rock blow-out jams of Thin Lizzy and the MC5 and the slinky grooves of ZZ Top and The Meters into something entirely their own.

Vinyl copies of the new album come with 3 extra tracks as downloads: covers of 'Cheap Sunglasses ' by ZZ Top, 'Dour Hogwax' by labelmates Bilge Pump and their version of 'Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey ' that featured in BBC Radio One's tribute to The Beatles' White Album.

Heavy music seems the vogue right now. But 'heavy' usually means posturing, dry ice, distortion and a cold, detached approach. Everyone Is People isn't any of those things but yet it is supremely heavy. It's heavy like Jimi Hendrix was heavy, or John Coltrane was heavy. Spiritually heavy, thrilling, righteous, ultimately uplifting and always unmistakably Lords.
