TRT Reviews: Loomis and The Lust – Space Camp EP
Loomis and the Lust sound a lot like what I imagine Collective Soul would if they reorganized themselves as an Outfield cover band. This isn’t a bad thing. In fact, it’s awesome.
Will Loomis sounds like a cross between Bob Schneider and the aforementioned Ed Roland, with more swagger than either, while the rest of The Lust back him up with some of the most solid classic rock and pop I’ve heard in a long time. This is music to swagger to, get into trouble with and play out of open windows.
The Space Camp EP is far too short, but it packs a lot of heat into it’s 15-minute running time. My favorite song, by far, is “Good Time Lover,” which I’ve included below.
Meanwhile, “Bright Red Chords” and “A.D.D.” do a great job showing the extent of Loomis and The Lust’s range. It’s no wonder these guys are picking up “artist to watch” kudos across the music sphere. Check the videos for both out after the jump and, if you’re interested, you can find the Space Camp EP on iTunes.
