LUMP

Since consolidating their line-up in 2003, Gold Coast five-piece LUMP have been making some heavy duty noise in rock circles and are now taking it to the rest of the world.
With a bottom heavy rhythm section powering behind hook-laden guitar riffs, catchy vocal melodies and HUGE choruses, this is a band who is constantly writing and evolving and will gratify fans of Sevendust, Alice in Chains, Tool and AC/DC alike with their original blend of new sounds and old-school rock sensibilities. On stage Lump deliver an intense and amped live experience and this is where they are most at home.
Their debut EP “HERE I AM” released in June 2004 hit No.5 on the AIR Charts, and has sold out of its first pressing. The ep was excellent introduction to a band that could very well be the next big thing in Aussie rock, with a line-up boasting ex-members of legendary acts Tower, The Poor, Black Seed & King Mungi.
Following Lumps’ win of the 2005 Australian series of World Battle of the Bands, the “Here I Am” ep jumped back into the AIR charts at ..12, and Lump headed off to compete at the World Final in Auckland with solid NZ airplay continuing since their return.
Lump played at the Big Day Out on the Gold Coast City Council / CGMIA stage in January on the Gold Coast 2005 and critics are still talking about it after Hatebreed’s Sean Martin raved about the band “LUMP” smashing the local stage.
The band released their debut Album May 2005 recorded at Loose Stones Studios – the 9 track “PAPER SKIN” cd totally self funded has pricked the ears of many national and international contacts after supporting “Fozzy” from the U.S.
Lump went on to headline the local stage at the ‘Taste Of Chaos’ tour in Oct ’05 supporting ‘The USED’.
2006 has seen the bands following of loyal fans grow from strength to strength through touring and shows with the likes of Zakk Wylds Black label Society - Shihad - Screaming jets any many quality local and national touring acts.
2007 kicked off with a Blistering set on the Essential Stage of the GOLD COAST BIG DAY OUT alongside U.S Metalers Trivium.LUMP then wasted no time and returned back into the studio to attack the final stages of their second Album "CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON" with a breif visit to the stage without hesitation when asked to support U.S legends HELMET.
