For those new to the band, The Lund Bros are a power trio specializing in guitar-based hard rock and power pop with cascading melodies and vocal harmony. Founded by Chris and Sean Lund and rounded out with bassist Gwon Chang, they hail from the Pacific NW and have been writing songs prolifically while performing rare and select shows over the last fifteen years. Chris and Sean have written and recorded five CDs over that time, two of them doubles-discs, containing in all over 80 songs. As if that wasn't prolific enough, they have nearly completed the follow up to their late 2008 release, Songbook IV, which is presently garnishing great reviews and is appearing on many respected Top 2008 Rock and Power Pop year-end lists.

Neat-o Review:
The Lund Bros.
Bassist Gwon Chang has been with the Lund Brothers for three years. That has to be a record for longest bassists in the band. Chang has solid rock star moves similar to the famous moves of guitarist Chris Lund.
This trio’s music was tailor-made for female hips and, consequently, my appreciative, albeit bloodshot, eyeballs last Thursday at The Swiss. Kings of Tacoma pop, no?
Even with tendonitis of the arm, Chris and drummer/brother Sean always channel the Beatles, even on their score of new, worthy tunes: “Empty Room,” “Nice Guys,” I Don’t Believe,” and “Tell Me.” Nice to hear “Come On” from the Loser days.
