Their musical influences are widely varied between the first 80's post-punk sounds and new wave bands like The Cure, The Smiths and XTC as well as the britpop bands such as Blur. They also appreciate the tones of American bands like The Strokes and Interpol. But sure, The Lanskies have a style like no other to make the dancefloor move with their hot-wave sound.

The Lanskies were greeted with an enthusiastic audience at the most popular French festival "Les Vielles Charrues" in July 2008 and at the new festival of Beauregard at Caen in July 2009. At this festival, 10,000 people were present with a lot of French fans from Normandy really happy to see their comeback onstage.

Their first album, 'Lords of the Mersey' produced by the indie label Indelible Records, was available digitally since April 2008 and was greeted with some success on international download platforms such as iTunes and Amazon.

They are set to release their second album 'Bank Holiday' on May 24 2010.
