How would you describe yourselves?
We are a group of like-minded musicians who have formed
Lucks Lane to collaborate on the work of songwriter Pete Moore. We all
have a variety of different influences, which works really well within the
band. We are just a bunch of guys who love making new music.
Who are your main influences musically?
We have so many influences, ranging from Ed Sheeran, Foo
Fighters, Bon Jovi to Avenged Sevenfold, Metallica and everything in
between. Each member brings their own influences to the band, which allows us to jump
between genres. We are a rock band but we love to surprise people with a
ballad or acoustic track every so often.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
We just want to reach as many people as we can and have
as much fun as possible along the way. We have no delusions of grandeur
and are just enjoying ourselves. If our music has an impact on someone then we
have achieved our goals, success is not all about making money, making good
music is the main aim.
What has been the highlight of your career so far,
and why?
It’s probably the release of our debut album ‘A New
Someone’ in Oct 2012. We had the idea to release an album just for fun and to have
a body of work that we could be proud of. Lucks Lane was originally only
supposed to be a one-off album project. Once we released it, the feedback and the
amount of radio play that every track on the album received worldwide blew us
away. We were not expecting that at all. An amazing feeling and definitely
a highlight.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
To be honest, we have been incredibly lucky and have
received awesome support from everyone so far. Every band goes through
tough times, but we are friends first and I think that has been the key to
avoiding major issues. There are no egos in the band and everyone brings fresh ideas into
every session. If it’s not working we change it. I guess the moment we want to
forget is still in the future, I’m sure it will happen soon enough though lol!
If you had to pick just one of your songs to
represent your music, what would it be and why?
The song that probably represents us best is ‘Take Me To
The Edge’ which was on our debut album. It was chosen to be on a compilation
album of indie artists, which was a huge compliment for us. It was one of the
first songs we recorded and we still love playing it.
Where can we listen to it?

Anything else you’d like to say about your
band/music that I forgot to ask?
We are nearly finished recording our second album ‘The
Story Of Our Lives’ which we hope to release in May 2014. After which we will
start a UK tour, (dates to be confirmed). Also, a massive thanks for giving us
the opportunity to be part of your Q&A. We really appreciate it!
