The band’s shows at SXSW gained them a number of new fans and earned them rave reviews, including Jon Pareles at the New York Times, Greg Kot at the Chicago Tribune, and Todd Martens at LA Times. The LA Times noted of the band’s music, “This is roots rock delivered with Arcade Fire-like grandeur…It’s showmanship, sure, as Lumineers songs are packed with crowd singalongs and call-and-response vocals, but it’s also irresistibly fun.” The Chicago Tribune hailed the band’s “folk-rock bravado.”
The band recently released their music video for first single “Ho Hey” in a coordinated effort across CMT Pure, CMT.com, MTV.com, VH1.com and mtvU. The video was directed by Ben Fee (Crystal Antlers, Spirit Animal). You can watch the video at CMT at the link below:

The Lumineers were formed by Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites in New York. Their story begins in 2002, the year Jeremiah’s brother and Wesley’s long-time best friend, Josh, died from a drug overdose at 19. Amidst the loss and grief, Wes and Jeremiah came together and found solace in music, writing songs and playing gigs around New York. After battling the city’s cutthroat music scene and impossibly high cost of living, the two decided to expand their horizons. They packed everything they owned and headed for Denver, Colorado, where they met cellist Neyla Pakarek. And so The Lumineers sound took shape; an amalgam of heart-swelling stomp-and-clap acoustic rock, classic pop, and front-porch folk.
