The Lathums are the best thing to come out of Wigan since Richard Ashcroft. Has that got your attention? I hope so...! The Lathums are one of those bands that have an instantly recognisable sound, I think that's largely due to the uniqueness of the voice of lead singer Alex Moore. They have been dubbed as a band to watch for 2020 and their latest release 'All My Life' only confirms this. 'All My Life' is The Lathums first release with major label Island Records, who signed the Wigan four-piece back in March and the track had the luxury of being produced by The Coral’s James Skelly. This track really emphasises this bands song-writing ability, it far surpasses their age, it's mature, thoughtful and it's quite unbelievable that this was the first song ever written by Moore. This song doesn't quite have the jangley, upbeat sounds of 'Fight On' or 'The Great Escape' but brings a slower tempo yet still has the same trademark The Lathums always bring. Accompanying the track is a brilliant video that was shot entirely on vintage, Super 8 film whilst strolling the streets and countryside of Wigan, it's the perfect accompaniment to a great song. Following lockdown these lads are about to take off as they'll be supporting the likes of Blossoms, DMA's and even The Modfather himself, Paul Weller. The Lathums are a brilliant live band, full of energy and polished to perfection.
