Featured Arist - The Lawsuits @ Milkboy, Philly December 15th 2012

Brian Dale Allen Strouse has a problem.  He can't stop writing new songs.  For years now he has been releasing music in solo form and with The Lawsuits.  Despite the popular Lawsuits album Darleen and the Hot Love EP, released in early 2012 he couldn't be stopped.   He kept writing, and the songs kept coming.

Of these recent new songs six of those tracks have recently been released on the new Lawsuits Numbers EP.  More are expected to be released in '13 on a full length album.  With 4 of the 6 songs on Numbers already having videos before the official EP release, the band clearly doesn't fear putting too much out there. 


Some of those tracks were heading for a solo release, but just as Brian finds it "easier to lay the foundation on his own", the songs "really come to reality faster with the band."  Each time the band would get together to practice and fill out some tunes, the creative juices would keep flowing and more and more songs would be written. Throughout the spring and summer of '12, more Lawsuits videos surfaced and more new songs sprung up, finding their way into set list after set list.  Excitingly for fans of The Lawsuits, the songs gain even more life live on stage. 

On their own and without a label, the Lawsuits are doing their best to prove their place in the scene.  With Philadelphia icons Dr. Dog blazing the trail, more shows with a bands having national presence, and likewise spreading their own national footprint are the goals. 

Great shows from Rittenhouse square,  the WHYY Connections Festival, and various local clubs from New Hope to West Chester during the last 12 months have done a lot for the band, as they join the Philadelphia musical scene renaissance and look to stake their claim as one of the Philly bands.
Fans are taking notice, as they have been nominated for the TriState Indie "Philly Indie Band of the Year" award
