The Longing

There’s a divine place, which suspends itself deliciously between distinct musical genres.  A place, which proudly and effortlessly beams a smile of non-conformity, never needing to wedge itself into that perfectly chiseled square box.  It’s here that you’ll find The Longing, swimming in their own unique musical sea, which bridges the gap between over-simplistic genre categorization. Transcending expectations of symphonic metal, they hover gloriously over the void between raw progressive metal and rock. Founded by LA based musician/singer/composer, Laura Bradley, The Longing are a 4-piece band who take a tight hold on raw progressive metal, mix it with a fusion of gritty rock and deliver a uniquely hitting sound.  In addition to Laura, the band consists of guitarist John Huldt,  bassist Michael Wallace and drummer, Tom Plumb – all formally trained, seasoned session and touring musicians with numerous high-profile production and engineering credits.
