Sam Lambeth

About the artist

Sam Lambeth has taken in a lot of musical inspiration from a range of eras. Influenced by Neil Young and Bob Dylan from the '60s and '70s, Elvis Costello after that, Teenage Fanclub and Dinosaur Jr. in the '90s, and the likes of MJ Lenderman, Waxahatchee and Alex G in the modern day, Lambeth blends introspective folk with powerful, blistering fuzz. It's this combination of melody and visceral guitar heroics that have seen him featured in NME and Rolling Stone, played on BBC Radio One and Radio X, and support the likes of We Are Scientists, The Lemonheads, The Orielles and The Bluetones, and sell out gigs across the UK - including performing in front of 25,000 fans at Wolves' stadium Molineux. His new album, No Sign of the Summer, is an energetic, fizzy and nostalgic collection of summery grunge rock replete with infectious harmonies, nimble guitar solos and that reflective, wistful raison d'etre that has made Lambeth one of unsigned music's most impressive and consistent frontmen.
