Boston-based rock powerhouse Lansdowne is back with “Make It a Lie,” a raw, emotionally charged anthem unpacking the brutal truth of toxic love. Released via their new label Odyssey Music Network (Berlin), the track is already one of their fastest-growing singles to date – 270k+ streams/views across platforms in just 6weeks, with fans calling it one of the band’s most relatable songs yet.
“Make It a Lie” is a deeply personal reflection on the heartbreak of staying in a relationship that keeps hurting you. With haunting melodies and gut-punch lyrics, Lansdowne explores the chaos of broken trust, blurred boundaries, and the exhausting cycle of trying to fix what’s already gone. It’s about clinging to hope, knowing deep down, it’s already over.
About the Band:
With 300M+ global streams, Top 20 radio success across multiple continents, and a reputation for high-octane live shows, Lansdowne continues to evolve while staying true to their anthemic hard rock sound. Their partnership with Odyssey Music Network marks a bold new chapter, blending international reach with the band’s unmistakable edge.
After their latest critically-acclaimed studio album, Medicine (released in 2023 via AFM RecordsHERE!), followed by a series of singles and a digital EP release, today, Boston-based rock force LANDSDOWNE is presenting their brand new track “Here To Stay”! Furthermore, the band has announced European and UK dates for November 2024, find all dates listed below!
LANSDOWNE vocalist Jon Ricci comments:“Here To Stay is a powerful song about overcoming adversity and coming together to say, “no matter what happens, no matter what you throw at us, we’re going to be victorious.”
We’ve spoken with so many fans that have told us stories about the challenges they’ve faced and the struggles that they’ve endured, and how our music has been a part of their process as they heal and motivation as they push through tough times. So this is our way of saying we understand, we’re with you, and no matter what happens we’re going to get through this together.”
In more than 15 years of their band career, LANSDOWNE have achieved two billboard charting radio singles, over 100 million streams and views, and have licensed songs to major brands such as iRobot, the NFL, MTV, and more. Comprised of Jon Ricci (Vocals), Shaun Lichtenstein (Lead Guitar / Vocals), Glenn Mungo (Drums), Josh Waterman (Guitar / Vocals), and Mike LaRoche (Bass), LANSDOWNE have been a force to be reckoned with since emerging into the music scene in 2006. Their latest album, Medicine, that has been lauded by both fans and music press alike, was released on February 3, 2023 through AFM Records.
Ever since they took the rock world by storm, LANSDOWNE built its name the old fashioned way – on the road; having performed countless shows internationally, including a 2007 tour for the troops across Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, and Kuwait, as well as sharing the stage with rock heavyweights such as Theory of a Deadman, Puddle of Mudd, Creed, Black Stone Cherry, Ice Nine Kills, Pop Evil, Thundermother orRED. This November, LANSDOWNE will be hitting the road again for an intimate club tour throughout Europe and the UK, with very special guests Weapons Of Anew and Killakoi! Don’t miss the exciting tour line-up live at the following dates:
Following their latest, critically-acclaimed studio album, Medicine (released in early 2023 via AFM Records, order HERE!) and their recent single-release, “Bury Me” (listen HERE!), Boston-based rock act LANSDOWNE has unleashed a digital EP titled “Bury Me Reimagined”! The EP is out now via AFM Records at: https://Lansdowne.bfan.link/Bury-Me-Re
“When we were writing Bury Me, we realized how emotional the song could be,”lead vocalist Jon Ricci reveals. “This is a journey from heartbreak to healing, and the guys and I felt like a stripped down version would help convey the vulnerability of the story. I love the soaring strings and the raw approach to the vocals. We love showing two sides to the same song, one hard charging and the other reimagined to be more intimate.
As a big country fan, we thought this would be a fun way to give our fans something different with Kane Brown’s, Bury Me In Georgia. Obviously, we chose it because of the title, but again it was an opportunity to reimagine a great song and give our fans access to another side of Lansdowne.”
