5 kids from Sydney, Australia channeling haunted mansions in the old west, the howls of dead things, old movies from outerspace, and you. Dance Dance Dance!
Nylon Magazine : From theme song “LAYDâ€'s visceral synths to the ominous sounding sonic force of “Glass Bottles", Lions are fierce across the board.
Drum Media : With a sound that sits very comfortably at the manic end of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs/Help She Can't Swim spectrum, it will be surprising if this group does not attain at least cult success in the indie 'scene'
Loop Magazine : "Their final calling song LAYD really summed up their unique mixture of genres showcasing a little indie, rock, electro, jazz and even slightly operatic"
we were rockstars : "It sounds too good to be true, I know, but it's all real. Their signature tune, 'LAYD', is the dance-punk calling card that you must hear."
Bigstereo : "Their vocals sound like the love child of Beth from The Gossip and Karen O. of the YYY’s….strong, loud and pounding every inch of the room."
Sandwich Club : "Possessing new vocal snarl and amazing new tunes these animals will have you roaring for paw, I mean more. Easily the most anticipated appearance on the bill."
"The bunch are now truly a new breed of beast set amongst the wolves of Aussie music."
Cause=Time : "It has dance punk written all over, and sound like Love is All, but not as whiny. I can't imagine how frantic one of their shows must be."
Erika Palomino - Fashion Lifestyle Music House : "Essa é animada! Mais uma banda legal da safra australiana de grupos. Quem curte The Gossip vai amar!" - hopefully this means they like us!
whiteboydancefloor : I love the name in that it is quite appropriate, almost preemptive of the chaos this outfit plans to inflict on the earwaves. I cannot wait until they are vandalizing and terrorizing the awkwardly inferior overseas dance floors with some of that good Sydney ferocity!
BiBaBiDi : They're a powerful group that's got a knack for making some pretty raggedy yet sharp and danceable rhythms and bass lines, and I can't help but get into that.
