I am nothing but proud of The Lottery Winners and their second album "Sounds Of Isolation" The whole album, despite no songs written by The Lottery Winners themselves they did a super job on covering their favourite songs, Tracks from artists such as The Smiths, Joy Division, Rick Astley and Marvin Gaye with every single band member of The Lottery Winners being locked down at home! And even managing to record all these songs when they're not even in the same rehearsal room all together and then get it out on vinyl in trying and unpredictable times of lockdown is very inspirational and very impressive.

Prior to the release of Sounds of Isolation, The Lottery Winners released a track called "Love Will Keep Us Together" which is themed about the COVID-19 lockdown and not being able to perform, be with your bandmates and rehearse in the studio, But The Lottery Winners have been inspirational to find a solution and perform in a band at home.

My personal favourite track from the album is "Heard It Through The Grapevine" sung by Guitarist Rob Lally who's voice we don't hear often on previous tracks and it just goes to show that not only being an extremely talented guitarist but a very talented vocalist! Sometimes I can't tell if it actually is Rob or Marvin! 

The album gets a 10/10 just if all the original artists of the songs covered could listen, They would be highly impressed! This album has really made a mark in the music scene, No other band could do it better.
