In addition to Laura, The Longing consists of guitarists John Huldt and Sean Maier, bassist Michael Wallace and drummer, Tom Plumb - all formally trained, seasoned session and touring musicians with numerous high-profile production and engineering credits. The compositions offer us a look into a human's vulnerability masked by rage. Lips, a thundering song of remorse offers a fresh approach to indie rock, while the bonus track, Amazing Grace is a unique interpretation of the emotional standard; incorporating the classic hook centered around Bradley's original verses and bridge. Cool Dark Slip pays homage to the late iconic author, Kate Chopin and her short story, The Awakening. The stadium sized swagger of Bleed, Wicked, and This Flame scream of the desire to harm battling the necessity to heal. With an extremely loyal and expanding fan base at their side, The Longing has graced stages large and small, leaving the audience breathless and ravenous for more.
