With a sold-out show at the House Of Blues in Chicago and with a new album landing in the top 5 iTune alternative Charts, it’s safe to say Lucky Boys Confusion has returned to a solid fanbase. The Do it yourself Chicago rock act just released a full length album Stormchasers with producer Johnny K (Disturbed).
The labeless band notes, “We’re unshackled! We have no industry folks checking-in with notes, we’ve had no time-constraints – it’s literally the four of us in a room together working on new songs for the last two years, and we’re so excited to start sharing what we’ve made with everyone. It’s going to be an amazing year.
