Powerhouse art-rock, cello-core, Lung, consists of Kate Wakefield, a classically trained opera singer and cellist, and drummer Daisy Caplan, formerly the bassist of Foxy Shazam. Fierce, ethereal, and heavy as hell, Lung rocks with the intensity of early grunge, layered with sinister undertones. Described as "loud, dissonant, innovative, and fearless" (Fair Shakes and Just Dessert). Wakefield runs her cello through distortion pedals and big amps, and Caplan pounds out earthquaking beats on epic horn-shaped, vintage drums. A relentless touring machine, the duo has played over 800 shows across North America and Europe, on bills with Brainiac, Screaming Females, Big Business, Chat Pile and so many more.

“Lung is the oddest couple since Oscar Madison and Felix Unger. Former Foxy Shazam bassist-turned-drum-beast Daisy Caplan and electric-cellist-to-the-stars Kate Wakefield team up to either A) slap on spandex onesies and fight crime in Metropolis or B) comprise a completely unexpected musical duo that upends genre expectations and pummels Grungy Indie Rock into new and unclassifiable shapes. Come Clean Right Now is Lung’s third and best album so far, a brilliantly dark document of feral intensity and agitated ferocity. “Sugar Pill” and “Landlocked” suggest Tony Iommi teaching a Nirvana class at Julliard, while the title track is the melodic cacophony of a Classical Punk chamber duo being menaced by murder hornets. Lung doesn’t try to fit in — they pry their way in with a velvet crowbar.”

“The band’s sound crosses many styles and could be better described by feelings rather than genres. Metal and classical music may not seem like a natural pairing, but singer Kate Wakefield’s haunting and professionally trained operatic voice floats above her fervent cello playing alongside Daisy Caplan’s intense and hypnotic drumming.”
