New Band

Hey Lola,

Just had a listen to the band and they are good,

Led Zeppelin meets No Doubt is weird combination, i have to say, but it seems to work for them.

Fair play to them for supporting Blue Oyster Cult.

Is the EP on sale here?

Certainly using myspace, youtube, etc seems to be the new de facto way for bands to build up a wider (global) fanbase. I can't help but noticing that the lead singer is undoubtedly the daughter of Tony Iommi .. a legend in the Brummie band that probably can be credited with the whole birth in popularity of heavy metal !!

Yep, we've got the daughter of Tony Iommi on vocals, and completely coincidentally the son of Judas Priest's Ian Hill on bass.  To be honest, we spent a long time not mentioning the family links because the band were keen to make it on their own merit, but eventually it was all over the web so we reckoned we may as well be up front about it.  Toni-Marie is a brilliant frontwoman (swear I'm not biased!), she's pretty fearless on stage whether it's an audience of 2 people or 200 people and she's absolutely stunning looking which undoubtedly helps.  They are going for more of the classic rock end of things than the metal market, but you are right, it's a difficult scene to be trying to get noticed in.  The likes of BBC Radio 1 and NME are really just looking for the new Arctic Monkeys, or quirky indie bands, which LunarMile certainly are not so that makes it tougher to break into the industry.  That said, they are still getting a fair bit of interest from the more niche rock/metal media so hopefully if they keep plugging away it will get picked up by the mainstream....
