The cover story for Springfield weekly newspaper The Illinois Times this week is “A Band On The Brink”- an in depth article on Springfield’s very own Looming, who recently signed to No Sleep Records, has an album coming out this August, and is also on the road for a short run with Run Forever. From the article, written by Scott Faingold:

This is clearly a band on a precipice – excited by the potential of their suddenly raised status in the music world, but still unclear as to what this will mean going forward.  “I think it’s smart not to get too crazy with ambitions,” says Knight. “I think we’re trying to be happy with this right now before we take a moment to think about what we want to do next. We’re still taking in the weight of what this means to us.”
“We just want the most people possible to hear our music and take something good from it – that’s our ambition,” says Fein.

The article also touches up plenty on Southtown, including the members’ roles in our community, and their first experiences with Black Sheep. See the full article right here, or pick up a copy of The Illinois Times at various locations around town.

Looming will be playing next at Black Sheep on July 25th, for Black Sheep Fest 2015. They also have been hinting at a big album release show on Friday, August 14th with older Springfield emo band Park.
