“A ram-jam barrage of 50s rock’n’ roll mania, shot through with punk venom, ‘All Cranked Up’ is one of the most energising things you’ll hear all year” – Classic Rock Mag

Following a sold-out show at London’s The Lexington, which saw fans queuing round the block to get in, His Lordship, the new project from guitarist James Walbourne (The Pretenders, The Pogues, The Rails) and Kristoffer Sonne (Chrissie Hynde, Willie Nelson) have announced their debut EP of original material ‘All Cranked Up’, and release the title track with its brilliant accompanying video, directed by Nadia Marquard Otzen and starring Thea Carla Schøtt, out now: https://li.sten.to/hlallcrankedup

The ‘All Cranked Up’ EP is a 6 -track collection that epitomises the ups and downs of the last 2 years. An explosion of energy and frustration, it is the sound of Walbourne fully unleashed as a frontman. The EP also arrives with artwork by legendary photographer Red Saunders, one of the founders of the Rock Against Racism movement in the mid 70s.

Speaking about the single, His Lordship says;

“It’s 5am. All cranked up with nowhere to go. Here we are again. Jerry Lee Lewis and Iggy Pop wrestling in the hallway. Englebert Humperdink trying to break things up. Little Richard swinging on a chandelier, laughing. Through the haze I get up to make a cup of tea and trip on an overflowing ashtray. The music is loud, the options are few. I’m all cranked up with nowhere to go.”

Having already made an indelible mark on London’s live scene with their furious combination of raging guitar and perverted drums, the duo are also set to embark on a UK tour in July 2022, guaranteed to be the hottest tickets in town and absolutely not to be missed.
