The Lazys Tour New EP

Central Coast hard rock act The Lazys are hitting the road to support their new EP, Temptation Never Liked You. The band will kick off their tour in front of hometown fans in January before travelling through Queensland, Victoria, and Tasmania.

The disc is a great reflection of the band’s raw energy as it was recorded at Newtown’s Notes Live. Acclaimed producer Matt Lovell gave the project some fine tuning to find the right balance between a studio sound and live performance.

If you want to check out a show it’s worth getting your tickets in advance as they’ll come bundled with a free copy of the EP. Get yours from the venues now!

Q & A with Leon Harrison of The Lazys

With a self-titled EP dropping in May, and a national tour kicking off this week, The Lazys are ready to rock Australia. Before they head out on the road I caught up with the group’s colorful lead singer Leon Harrison.

Your sound seems to hark back to the classic days of Aussie pub rock, with really chunky guitars and aggressive vocals. Were you inspired by those vintage bands at all?
Yeah, the whole band was definitely inspired by that older rock and roll scene.

What are some of your favourite bands?
I’m an AC/DC fan myself. I like AC/DC. Matt’s into Zeppelin, I’m into Zeppelin. Australian, I like Midnight Oil even. They’re not even that hard rock. The Angels … anything really that’s a bit harder. I like Muse. They’re not really an older band, but yeah.

You recently played on the main stages at Coaster and the Come Together festival. What’s it like to play for these massive crowds?
It’s a lot more exciting when you get a bigger crowd in front of you. It’s more enjoyable I suppose. I haven’t done that a lot. We’ve played smaller pub crowds. I like the intimacy of smaller crowds, but bigger crowds are just more exciting.

You’re about to head out on your first full national tour in some time. Are you excited about getting back on the road?
Yeah I am. I can’t wait to get into a car with the boys, and get out there and do what we do. I’m pretty bored at home!

What can fans expect from one of your shows?
To have a good time. They can expect hard-hitting riffs and good old-fashioned punk rock and roll with no bullshit attached. We just have a good time at our shows and usually the crowd does as well.
