Lonsdale Boys Club
Light Me Up

Future/Island

WE SAY

Lonsdale Boys Club's debut single Light Me Up is a summery slice of pop that recalls the best of Orson with its funky guitar riff and unforgettable hook, making for a track that sounds great on radio. Top 10 artist of the moment - Sway - joined them on their latest LBC Jam session for SB.TV, and has now agreed to jump on and do a verse for a reversion of the track that will no doubt add weight to the already impressive momentum, which has seen the video for Light Me Up pick up over 200,000 views and garner a wealth of positive press. After playing to 150,000 people supporting Olly Murs over 20 dates in February, the London three-piece are confirmed to play Future Hits Live for The Hits radio (April 26), whilst in the midst of embarking on their first UK headline tour. They've started an LBC 'pirate radio' on Soundcloud and have just made a viral video for their track Hooligans and Hulagirls at the weekend, driving around the country filming themselves singing with their fans (the hooligans and hulagirls), which led to them trending on Twitter
