This four-piece band delivers fire and brimstone twinned with the dynamic sounds of the group's namesake. The rockin' violin playing needs to be seen to be believed. -- Billboard.com

Here's a glimpse of what radio programmers across America have to say about LOURDS:
WILL PENDARVIS, Sirius Satellite Radio:
ASTROPOP has it ALL! Brilliant songwriting... amazing performances... some of the best, most passionate vocals in rock music memory... It's a love song... it's a rocker... it's an anthem!
JONATHAN CLARKE, Q 104.3, NYC:
Rocking out on the electric violin, LOURDS is definitely one of the most original bands to come out of NYC!
MIKE HAZE, LAZER 99.3, MA:
Yeah I would say that that "Astropop" is the dawning of a Rock'nRoll happening. This should be the begining of a fufilling career for LOURDS. Even cooler is hearing a girl sing about "fucking like it's the last day of her life! " Two thumbs up for that line alone!!
ANDREW "YT" WHITE, BWZT, SC:
LOURDS delivers a breath of fresh air into hard driving rock music today... LOURDS steps it up and brings a familiar old school sound into today. This disc ROCKS!
And here's a taste of what reviewers say about LOURDS:

One of the most exciting violinists in all of America

Been a while since I have heard from you all. I hope everyone is doing good! I still have your songs in my head from a 36 Crazyfists concert at Peabody's I seen about 8-10 months ago.
Thanks again for the great tunes! Have fun, and be careful!
Hey LOURDS! I have been re-posting the bulletins every day and voting. I have had everyone I know listen to your music and watch your vids and everyone just loves you and they are all voting as well. guess I am kind of a pain in the ass getting everyone to vote so they do it to shut me up! Nah, they all love you and see just what I do, a very talented group of people making incredible music for us all to enjoy! Rock on!
Thanks again for considering Pridefest in Pa. You are awesome and so sweet to answer all the email. I joined your street team and I will continue to post bulletins for you as well. Congratulations again for making it number 5 on LOGO. I will do my part to help you make it it number 1! You deserve it!
Hey LOURDS, I wanted to add Astropop to my profile so people could hear the song they are voting for but it won't play. Just thought you should know. I just added Erased for now.
'Strength' is not the all-important factor in success. Instead, it is 'Perseverance.'
Even the most dense of granite stone can be worn away by the passage of time, and the simple weathering of flowing water. Take this lesson to heart, and your troubles will be worn away just as well.
The troubles of one's life may not give way so easily. But with flexibility, with adaptability...
With patience, with precision...
And most importantly, with an iron-will, with balance, and with wisdom...
Great and unexpected things can be acheived.
There are no problems which can not be overcome, like water over a weathered stone.
May this week end well for you, my friend. And may your next week begin with clarity and focus, to meet and overcome the rocks left along your life's path.
Hey LOURDS! I voted for you a bunch of times on LOGO and I am reposting your bulletins every day too! I am getting everyone I know to vote. You deserve it and so much more!
