"At Last A Fresh, Young, Vibrant Band That Is Truly Worthy Of Representing The North East Music Scene. They Will Go Far!!"
Alan Robson, Metro Radio Dj, January 2008
Painting pictures of everyday life, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always insightful. The Lexingtons take all the elements from what they see around them and with the same eye for observation and an ear for a lyric as Ray Davies, take you on a journey into the world around them."
TEO Music
"The influences of The Jam and The Kinks are easy to see but do not let this mislead you into thinking that The Lexingtons are just another regulation indie band as nothing could be further from the truth. They undoubtedly have a sound that is all their own and any comparisons with the above bands are made only as a compliment, as this band’s sound is a damn fine one!"
New Reality Music
Mix a large dollop of the Arctic Monkeys with a splash of the Ordinary Boys, finish with a sprinkling of early Oasis and you get Middlesbrough's hot new Indie sensation. Catchy indie/powerpop with song titles like "Fuck Art Lets Dance" "Behind The Mask" "Saturday Night Sunday Morning" "Different By 3'o Clock" "Living For Today" and "Polkadot Dress" The Lexington’s have found a winning formula.
Every song has a hook, Every chorus is sing-along-friendly.
Brimming with youthful exuberance, lead singer Ash Turner and his band mates look like they could play all night.
They finish with a guaranteed crowd pleaser, “Everything to me” a song full of pride for their hometown of Middlesbrough,
Fly Me To The Moon
