This album's topic moves between several personalities descriptions that we wanted to focus on. Liza, Izaiah, Little Suzie, the burglar in ‘The Runner’, Odessa the seer, a worker in ‘Fired’ and so on. The concept itself is full of controversial and hilarious meanings which bring the bad of each of these characters into the shape of a social nucleus, as if it was a family with thirteen members, not that standard size at all. At the very beginning of the LP the journey starts with the most optimistic character speaking through the lyrics strong as it appears in ‘No Ice Cubes in My Bourbon’ (Joey). It all ends up with the last and most vexed genius Galileo, pushed to abjure by those who need to keep people in fear suitable for government control over society. Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck Group, Rolling Stones, Kinks, MC5, Neil Young mixed up with sharp words kept in a strong and saturated vocal midrange are the ingredients that make up the LP.
Retro Vox Records will
release 'Standard Family Size' on LP and digital platforms on March 10th. Find

✒ BIOGRAPHY
Dave (Davide
Chiari) kickstarted the Lancasters project releasing a
whopping nine debut tracks with Fred (Federico Mariotto) on
drums and Steve (Stefano Vanoni) on bass. The project was
founded to honour the purity and freedom of the rock wave that shook England
between 1969 and 1971 and to achieve the sweet syncretism of the simplicity and
the volumetric and rhythmic-obsessive impact that this very type of rock was
known for Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Weed, Orang Utan, Rory Gallagher, Jeff
Beck: all Gods who spun Dave’s turntable dry. These artists’ LPs fuelled the
bout of inspiration behind the band’s first songs. Federico and Stefano were
drawn into the project’s gravitational force and, as relentlessly lustful
lovers of this music, became arteries of the band. The first eponymous LP (Fuzzy
Cracklins Presents, Oakland CA) and singles (Rivertale Records, IT) were
released between 2019 and 2022 in the US and Europe. In 2021, the band gained a
new member: Khoti (Andrea Cotelli). And with him came mighty
guitar power. The second LP is due out in 2023.
