The band was started late in 1995 by Mike Schweigert (formerly of Daisycutter), Robert Ryan, and Jason Hoffman. Feeling the lack of originality in most hard rock outfits and disliking the new trend of integrating rehashed riffs and tunings to pass music off as "retro" or "stoner", the band started performing sets of disjointed freak-outs warming up for bands like The Melvins, MonsterMagnet and Buzzoven. The idea was to be as heavy as possible but at the same time be interesting and improvisational . Two years (and several drummers) later thier debut LP"Your Ghost Will Walk" was released on Chainsaw Safety records to high critical acclaim. As often is the case, success comes with a price and Lord Sterling descended into confussion and decay over the next couple of years. Chaotic touring with the likes of Bent Leg Fatima, No Knife, LungFish, and The Atomic Bitchwax took them way past the breaking point ironically preparing them for their next transformation. Hoffman left to pursue a career in the sciences being replaced by Jim Baglino (Human Remains, Deadguy, and current low end man for MonsterMagnet) and the stage was set for their self-released "Amplified" E. P. which was quickly followed by Rubric Records "Weapon of Truth." Dissatisfied with Rubric fellow New Jersian Stu Gollin, of Halfway To Gone, brought Lord Sterling to the attention of Small Stone and helped pavedthe way for their latest effort "Today's Song For Tomorrow."Blending traditional blues progressions to Black Flag-esque dissonance Lord Sterling continues to blow minds as well as speakers from large clubs to private art /loft spaces. Theiradded use of multiple tape delays, electric sitars, cerebral light shows, a harmonium and one of the most ballistic amplifier arsenals in the business has made Lord Sterling a force to be reckoned with.
