LORNE BEHRMAN 

“Real blood and guts rock and roll that bleeds with soul and redemption.” – Jesse Malin

Punk rock n’ roll guitarist/songwriter Lorne Behrman (who previously played in The Dimestore Haloes, L.E.S. Stitches, The Dead Tricks, and The Sweet Things), released his visceral and vulnerable debut solo album, A Little Midnight, on September 16th, 2022 via Spaghetty Town Records. The 10-song collection is a series of New York City vignettes haunted by shadows but guided by light. The words here are literate and lacerating, recalling the street poetics of Lou Reed, Richard Hell, and Television. The songs feature stark and fluid guitar playing in the spirit of The Stooges’ James Williamson, Johnny Thunders, and Lou Reed.

A Little Midnight received raves from Classic Rock, Metronome, Rodney Bingenheimer’s Underground Garage, Glide Magazine, New Noise, mxdwn.com, and Faster and Louder Blog. Previously, Lorne issued his critically acclaimed 4-song debut EP, When I Hit The Floor. That release garnered accolades and features in Glide Magazine, New Noise, Goldmine, antiMusic, Misplaced Straws, and taste-making punk mag Razorcake. Lorne was a guest on the esteemed Couch Riffs podcast hosted by Duff McKagan’s Loaded guitarist Mike Squires, the mental health-themed hard rock podcast Suck It!, WFMU’s Born Too Late, and Tommy Unit’s Real Punk Radio.

 Before his solo career, Lorne played guitar in The Dimestore Haloes who "should have been huge,”  once gushed taste-making Beantown alt-weekly The Boston Phoenix, and L.E.S. Stitches, vets of The Warped Tour who made a performance cameo in Spike Lee’s Summer Of Sam. His band The Dead Tricks worked with Goldfinger’s John Feldmann, and he was most recently in The New York Dolls-y roots-punk band The Sweet Things who toured nationally and in the UK, and in 2019 released the critically acclaimed debut, In Borrowed Shoes, On Borrowed Time (Spaghetty Town Records).
