REVIEWED:..what people said so far, (bad parts not included!)
“A wall-of-sound driving rock set that in recent years has been adopted by The Music“ Roadhousemag.com.
“Delicately crafted hushed rock that at times leans toward alt country influences... ...Lucera come across as being a close-knit unit, which transcends into brilliantly administered music” Gareth Maher, Cluas.com.
"Lucera are one of those bands that you feel you've been listening to all your life. You await every song with anticipation, knowing that they are capable of pulling off so many styles with ease and precision. They are completely at home performing live and are definitely a band for the future on the Irish music scene." Linda Maher - The Agenda, The Sunday Business Post.
“...band making a name for themselves” Tony Clayton-Lea - The Ticket, The Irish Times.
“...band with a great sound and a solid set list. The vocals never faltered, the guitar seemed to play to my very soul... The EP itself could easily be described as a soundtrack for life.” Irishunsigned.com.
