About Me

13/11/6 - WE'RE LOOKING FOR A NEW DRUMMER!. If you can help us, or know anyone who can, let us know. We want to be out there again, playing electric shows + touring. Initially though, we have to re-record these songs to radio level - we also have many new tracks to record. If you think you can help us do this, drop us a line +let us listen to some things you’ve done.

(We will probably make you do some backing vocals too, so be prepared…)

Lopez combine soaring electric melodies, beautiful acoustic tunes and uplifting harmonies over distorted guitars and organic beats.

The band are based around the twin lead vocals of Jules Parker and Leo Hamilton (both also play guitar) with James Sims on occasional Bass/BVs. Theyre reminiscent of Phoenix meeting R.E.M., Travis and the Beach Boys.

Over the past 1 1/2 years theyve been played on radio stations in the UK, Italy and Argentina, have had 2 songs used in 2 different independent films (see In A Day ) and been featured in national newspapers such as The Sunday Times, The Observer and the Evening Standard all the while gaining more and more fans. The past 2 years have seen them play a huge variety of venues including Londons City Showcase festival, U.L.U. the V+A museum, the Borderline, Clapham Grand and the Regent Street festival.

Lopez are inspired by many different artists, and everyone in the band brings their own influences to the music. Common themes would be The Police, Paul Simon, Neil Young, Crowded House, Athlete and Prince.
Thanks for Listening! You're our hero...
