Press Reviews "From start to finish, this disc exhibits poise, personality, and artistic mettle. In shorter terms, it’s a breath of fresh air." (Heidi Drockelman, Indie-Music.com)............"'Bewilder Me’ is a fine debut from a band with as much potential as the country they hail from." (indiemonkey.com)............"Lancaster have become increasingly more present on the music scene over the past couple of years. Regular and well received...Lancaster keep churning out classy nuggets of indie pop and rock." (Brisbane Tribe)............"These guys had their shit together, and stuck to the most basic guitar pop conventions, which served them well. With a simple, yet rich guitar tone as their backbone, their music seems to work best when set to mellow mode. With some nice work on the skins, and some strong vocals, their overall package was quite enjoyable" (Darren Swan,Time Off)
