This is the home of the Ultimate Sports Anthem! “Victory” performed by the lead singer of LOURDS, Lourds Lane currently signed to indie label upstart Breaking Records. Billboard Underground headliner Lourds Lane of LOURDS inadvertently wrote a new sports anthem when “Victory” scored some prime exposure. The track caught the ear of ESPN, and the sports conglomerate has licensed it. A thick, heavily distorted bassline leads “Victory,” while the remaining instruments are covered with a scratchy, industrial coat. Rousing hand claps and chants of “Get up now and fight” make the song a primal chant for domination, and it’s a catchy anthem that will fit any sports stadium. Lane adds to the kick-ass quotient by sawing off an electric violin solo that whines as nastily as a guitar.Whether it’s played in a concert or being used to cheer a team on the defense, “Victory” will get fists pumping and feet stomping.
