Sounds Like: Like most bands, LATL’s sound is found at the intersection of several musical avenues. The first road would likely be the rue de funk! This soul-ful road has a driving pop edge with a slight dose of Jamaica. The second one was probably paved by CCR, Supertramp, LZ, the Allmans, the Doors, and the like; despite the road being paved - it is a rocky road based on the blues. Road numero trois is a mish-mash of "indie" music from the last decade. Who hasn’t been influenced by the organic music of Gomez, Ryan Adams, My Morning Jacket, Joel Plaskett, ... and on and on; this road is more along the lines of a highway. The last road is definitely a gospel road. A bunch of good church boys, LATL’s spiritual heart draws on old time country and western, hymns, Taize, folk and bluegrass. The best way to figure what we sound like is to come check out the intersection sometime. We welcome you all.
