When I was younger I regularly waited anxious to get my hand om an announced album. It usually happened after I read about this forthcoming album in some music magazine and from that moment on I biked to the local record store nearly every day to ask if it came in. This doesn't happen to me anymore. The main reason is that I've become much more patient and I don't have any really favourite bands anymore. But there are still some bands I really like and of course I'm always interested in their new albums. One of those bands is The Lodger.The debut album "Grown-Ups" by The Lodger was released one year ago and I've put this one in my list with 10 best albums of 2007. Singer/guitarist Ben Siddall, bassist Joe Margetts and drummer Bruce Renshaw are from Leeds, Engeland. The Lodger was founded by Ben in 2005 door Ben, Bruce was added to the band since their first album. The threesome are sometimes aided by guitarist Timothy Corbridge or singer Sarah Williams. Their new album "Life Is Sweet" has finally been released and I've ordered my copy a few days ago. I've listened to some tracks via MySpace and the website from the label Slumberland Records and those songs sound exactly like I've expected. The music of The Lodger is a excellent example of the fine tradition of English and Scottish indie guitar bands.
