The Lodger was formed inside the mind of Ben Siddall inside an LS6 bedsit.
After 3 sold-out limited 7s and touring around the UK and Europe with bands
such as The Long Blondes and The Research, the group released their debut
album “Grown-Ups”, produced by Alan Smyth and James Ford, in June 2007
on Angular Records in the UK, Slumberland Records in the US, Fabtone in Japan and
Speak N Spell in Australia.
Critical acclaim for the album followed, particularly on the blogs; the band have featured
heavily on the elbo.ws charts since the release along with heavy rotation on US college radio and
other stations worldwide.
The album was voted as 62nd best of 2007 on www.amazon.com and 95th in Woxy.com’s Top 97 of ‘07.
The Lodger recently completed their first tour of the USA in October 2007 and then entered the studio
to record their 2nd album in November.
The 2nd album «Life Is Sweet» will be released in May 2008.
