I. "Drawing obvious influence from British breakthrough bands such as Young Guns and Mallory Knox, Lancaster are certainly a band that want to be taken seriously here in the UK. Journeys demands just that. Kicking off with a handful of high-energy, guitar heavy tracks, this album already has the traits of a solid debut album on par with those from other British breakthroughs such as Lower Than Atlantis or Mallory Knox." THE MIXED TAPE
"If you know how to make the perfect bacon sandwich, why would you want to change it, right?" HIT THE FLOOR.
"This is a captivating, often exhilarating puzzle of an album with big powerful guitars, great atmospheric instrumentation and lead singers Anth brilliant vocals."

II. LANCASTER'S BIO
Nicknamed "Brazilian Blues Sensation" by Randall Hill, editor of Austin Blues Monthly, Lancaster is a pioneer of the blues in his country. In 1998 and 1999 he released the first two Chicago Blues albums recorded in Brazil. Throughout his thirty-year career he has performed and recorded with such blues legends as Willie "Big Eyes Smith" (Muddy Waters' late drummer), Mud Morganfield (Muddy Waters' Eldest son), Deacon Jones (organist with Freddie King and John Lee Hooker), among others.
Born in Brazil in 1964 in a bilingual family, Lancaster moved to the United States in 1981, where he graduated from highschool in Salem, Oregon. From 1994 to 1995 Lancaster lived in Los Angeles, where he performed with a local band in Southern California. Residing in Brazil since 1996, he has released six albums, one EP and the new videos HAUS BIER SESSIONS – live in the studio.
Lancaster & The Hot Pockets are a band in the true sense of the word. Friends who have been together on the road for almost twenty years and have developed their own unique style of blues. Bassist Izal de Oliveira and drummer Maurício Gaspar recorded Lancaster’s seminal album A Beautiful Day For the Blues in 1999. Edu Souza joined The Hot Pockets four years ago. His rhythm guitar and backing vocals have since then become essential to the sound of the band.
