Ambulance LTD
Ambulance LTD (rarely Ambulance Ltd. ) is an American indie rock band that was founded in 2000 in the Spanish Harlem neighborhood of New York .
Founders were Michael Di Liberto and David Longstreth. The new band member Marcus Congleton "stole" the band from these two founders after they both left the band and carried on with their name and ideas together with drummer Darren Beckett.
They signed to TVT Records after getting positive reviews on their live shows. They recorded the self-titled EP Ambulance LTD in 2003.
The genre is a mix of dream pop, indie rock and the British shoegazing movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Their influences are manifold. They go from the Beatles to the Rolling Stones , Spiritualized , My Bloody Valentine and Elliott Smith . Her style is a mix of different styles. The band once said: "their niche is not sticking to any particular niche" - their (musical) niche is not to be found in a special musical corner (of the genres) and they do not want to get stuck in a sub-genre of rock .
In 2004 they released the album with the simple title LP , which brought many positive reviews in the USA in the New York area. A new album entitled "New English EP" was released in March 2006. Benji Lysaght, Matt Dublin and Darren Beckett left the band after this album and formed a new band called The Red Romance .
