L.A. Edwards evoke a drive through the American heartland via CBGBs on their new single ‘Gone 4U’. While the title of the song seems like an homage to Prince, the song itself is pure Midwest americana; driving drums, chiming guitars and earnest vocals.
Singer Luke (L.A.) Andrews describes the track, “It’s a bit of an homage to the Ramones/NYC sound that we loved growing up. The passing of time, a sentimentality, good times come and gone, but also just letting good the times roll.”
The band will be touring in the UK and Europe extensively in July and October 2024.
