Earlier this month, Curse of Lono released a live album that includes “Pick Up The Pieces,” giving new life to the song and opening the door to posting our top three songs from the band. We assume they were named for the Hunter S. Thompson book in which he described his 1980 experiences in Hawaii.
Formed in London in 2015, Curse Of Lono are Felix Bechtolsheimer (vocals, guitar), Joe Hazell (lead guitar, vocals), Dani Ruiz Hernandez (keys, vocals), Charis Anderson (bass, vocals) and Neil Findlay (drums).

“Cinematic Southern Gothic Alt Rock” is the description Curse of Lono attaches to its music. It’s a description that invites rearrangement. While listening to “Five Miles,” the Southern component is prevalent, since the guitars are acoustic and Southern-style electric. “Cinematic” is appropriate. The song includes “Rock” elements and it is “Alternative” music. We wouldn’t have called it “Gothic” without the suggestion from the band, but we can buy into the designation. Our description of “Five Miles” would relocate the descriptors, with "Southern" at the start and a de-emphasis of “Gothic.”
