"Uranium Lake wear their influences on their sleeves - no distortion pedal, or manic guitar solo in sight. What you have is a young band devoid of inflated egos who perform their own music admirably."
Uranium Lake was born at high school, as four friends and musicians came together with the intention to create music differing to the majority of young bands around them. In the midst of a local music scene consisting predominantly of clichéd young cover bands thrashing out power chords, all sounding alike, Uranium Lake proved to be a refreshing alternative. Continuing through the remainder of high school and college the band has become tighter, maturing musically as well as gaining plenty of gig experience. Performing at venues all over the country, Uranium Lake’s cleverly crafted alternative pop songs combined with intriguing lyrics have made anyone with merely the most remote interest in good music, sit up, listen, and appreciate.
"From its opening melodic guitar riff and sincere, moving vocals, to its climactic, overlapping vocal parts final chorus, Gather a Crowd is finely crafted and utterly involving."
