LOIS GREY

Bubbling up from the burgeoning Charlotte, NC scene comes Lois Grey playing their angular and moody version of rock and roll. The brainchild of musical connoisseurs J. Hardee and S.D. Worley, Lois Grey is rich and sophisticated indie rock for the masses.



Endlessly melodic and memorable, Lois Grey paints bright on a canvas-full of dark. The music takes on hints of early U2 and New Order, playing against a Stewart Copeland-influenced rhythm section. The result is a sophisticated sound that sounds simultaneously modern and timeless. The proof lies in the duo's recent demo, a studio exercise that catches the two documenting the early period of the band.



The place to catch Lois Grey, though, is live--where the energy recalls CBGB's New Wave era. J. Hardee's vocal and bass playing provide a foundation for S. Worley's echo-drenched guitars. The hairpin turns and twists of the music keep crowd interest high, while Hardee's frenetic frontman routine keep the momentum moving ever forward. The key at this point is to keep listening, Lois Grey is sure to be a player on the airwaves in the future.
