About

After two years of relentless touring in support of their debut album, Blue Collar Revolver, Lansdowne — vocalist Jon Ricci, drummer Glenn Mungo, guitarist Josh Waterman, bassist Mike LaRoche, and newest guitarist Joey Ariemma — have released their widely anticipated follow-up, No Home But The Road. Produced by Mike Watts, the six-song EP features five new tracks and a re-recorded version of “One Shot,” from their debut, as the first single. The autobiographical title represents the band’s hard work and steady ascent to establish themselves on the rock and roll playing field. “Every song on this record reflects everything we’ve gone through over the past three years,” says Glenn Mungo. “It’s a storytelling type of record from beginning to end.” It’s also a look ahead, as Lansdowne anticipate their to return to the stage. “Touring prepared us to make this record,” says Jon Ricci. “We experienced our fans in a more intimate way — the stories we heard from them, the conversations we had, their frustrations and triumphs — we got a better grasp on the kind of record we wanted to make. We are very focused on making sure we bring the best show we can every night. These new songs were written so they’re at their best live.” The time spent honing their sound brought Lansdowne back to their traditional rock and roll roots. “We wanted to play from the heart, rather than have people outside of the band tell us, ‘This is what we’re looking for,’” says Mungo. “This time, there were no restrictions. We were able to let out what we’d been holding back for three or four years.” Formed in Boston, Mass., Lansdowne built their fan base the old-fashioned way: on the road. They performed hundreds of shows across the U.S.
