About
Nearly two decades have passed since Lack last released new music. Now, they are coming back with their first album in 18 years. The self-titled record arrives September 11 on the label Dream Bureau and will be followed by shows in Denmark, Germany, and the Czech Republic. Over the course of eight years, Lack released three albums, played countless shows across Europe and the United States, and built a reputation as one of Copenhagen's most distinctive and explosive bands. Both within Denmark and internationally, they were genuinely genre-defining as a band whose sound moves effortlessly between post-hardcore, indie rock, and film noir, propelled by Thomas Burø's characteristic high-pitched vocals, perpetually pushed to the edge of breakup. In 2008 – shortly after the release of Saturate Every Atom – the band went their separate ways and put Lack on hold. The members have since played in numerous bands, including Rising, Tvivler, Total Heels, Anchorless, and No Light. Reformed as a live band in 2021 In 2021, Lack reformed. At first for two sold-out shows in Denmark, and later for several others, including Denmark’s biggest metal festival, Copenhell, in 2024. Without making promises to each other or the outside world, Lack quietly began writing new music. At first it was a patient inquiry into whether the collective still had artistic and personal relevance so many years later. It became clear that the tension between misanthropic resignation and defiant optimism, which was always the band's defining nerve, was still alive, and that it felt worth singing about more than ever. support: BAKER SEATS 90s-CollegeCore from Kiel / Husum, Germany. Having played mainly in punkrock and hardcore bands (ESCAPADO, THE CREETINS, GRAND GRIFFON) for several years, Matthias Frank and Helge Jensen decided to start something different. Baker Seats have a diverse output of music, focussed on melody and hooks, drawing influence from late 80s and 90s indie/college rock, adding pop sensibilities.
