First of all we would like to apologize for not telling you this earlier, but as many of you probably have guessed, we've decided to quit the band.
Last summer we decided to take a break, and during this last year we all got different focus. It didn't feel right to continue with the band since it wasn't the number one priority, so we decided to not start again.
We would like to thank all of you who followed our carrier and supported us! We're so happy that so many of you enjoyed what we did! We had the time of our lives because of you! Thank you! Until next time...

Back on Track
Sorry that we haven't updated our homepage in a while, but we decided to take a calmer period during the late spring and summer. But now we've charged our batteries, gathered a lot of inspiration and are as hungry as ever! The plan for the near future is to go back in the studio and make new songs for a coming album. We have no clue when we'll be ready to release it, but we hope that you don't need to wait too long!
Love
/Lamont
New Video
Here's our brand new video for the song '45 Minutes'. As you can see it's definitely the hardest thing we've ever done as a band (try running as fast as you can for three and a half minute and you'll see ow hard it is!). But we're very happy with the result and our collapsed lungs.
Thank You for 2007, see you in 2008
Thank you all for supporting us this year! A lot of things have happened, and we are so happy and proud that we have released our album, and that so many of you have downloaded it, bought it, and liked it.
And thanks to all of you that have showed up on our concerts singing along and dancing!
Now we take a few weeks off and celebrate New Years'. If 2007 was great, 2008 will be amazing!

Debut Album Downloaded More Than 100 000 Times the First 24 Hours it Was Released
We are very proud to say that we finally released our debut album 'The Golden Daze'! It's been lots and lots of work, both in the studio and in the office but now we finally made it. And it's very nice to see that so many of you (fans, media, boys and girls) like it so much! As you probably know, we are supported by the Pirate Bay. Right now they have a campaign on their front page, encouraging their users to download our album and buy the record. After 24 hours more than 100 000 people downloaded the entire album and our video has been viewed so much that the host viddler.com crashed and they had to install more servers!
In December we will tour Sweden (and one show in Finland) and since we're mainly a live band we hope that you all come to our shows! We're not playing concerts, we're having parties on stage with our audience and you are all very welcome to join the party!
The story of Lamont
In 2002 five friends in Malmö, Sweden, started a band. The idea was not only to make music no one had heard before, but to put up live shows that no one had ever seen before. We have always thought that too many bands, and too big bands, didn't make enough effort to put up a great and unique live show. We think that the future in music is not through selling records (only a few really big acts sell large numbers of records today) but through deliver something extra on stage. Lamont is not only about the music, Lamont is about the whole experience of singing, dancing and going to the show.

Hejsan! Er nya video är jättebra, älskar slutet och era kläder! Hoppas ni kommer till sthlm snart, för jag vill se er igen snart (har inte varit på konsert sen december..) Hoppas vi ses, ni är saknade! Kramar Lovisa
Hej!! Jättekul att ni kommer till SÄG-festivalen, äntligen får man se er! är spelningen 20:00 som det står eller är den på dagen efter de andra banden?? :) /V
Congrats on the new video! It's great, works really well to the song. The simples ideas are usually the best... Suffering for your art and totally worth it. Oh yeah, a very late thanx for the gig in Helsinki - you rock so hard! Hope to see you soon again, here or there - anywhere.
