Lenola (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lenola was an indie rock noise-pop group formed in New Jersey in 1994, originally envisioned as a four-track project by lead man Jay Laughlin, but with the addition of guitarist David Grubb and drummerSean Byrne, eventually became a standard band. After the addition of bassist Scott Colan, Lenola released several singles on the self-funded Tappersize label before releasing their first album in 1996. In 2001, File Thirteen Records released their full length CD, Treat Me To Some Life. Their final album, 2003's Sharks & Flames double CD was released in Japan and Europe but has yet to be issued in the US. Powered by strong guitars, Lenola is generally compared to My Bloody Valentine and The Flaming Lips. In 2003 the group disbanded. Byrne continues work on his folk-rock recording project The Twin Atlas, Colan creates & sells Puddledrums while Laughlin and Grubb both perform with Like A Fox.
