About Me

------------------------------------------------
Formed in January of 2008 by Tyler Briskie and Chance Scott-Burke, Hearts Like Lions is one of the newest bands in the growing Denver music scene. Playing in various groups together since the mid '90s including local band Me Llamo Rosa, Chance and Tyler have grown together as musicians and have been able to put together a unique sound that has been compared to Saves The Day and The Killers. Joined by friend James Morrison, HLL is excited to start playing shows all over Colorado.
Chance (keys/vocals), a pianist since the age of nine, has been interested in composing music for as long as he can remember. It wasn't until 2002, however, that Scott-Burke started writing for himself and breaking away from sheet music. He has been enthralled ever since and experimented with many types of music; but for him it has always come back to the rock that he grew up with.
Tyler (guitar) has also had a very intimate relationship with music since he was young and self taught himself many instruments including the guitar. Feeling the thrill of selling out shows with former band Lenore, he has developed a love for playing live music. Having a taste for nothing else, in 2005 Briskie graduated from the University of Colorado at Denver with a BA in Audio Engineering and has since engineered many live shows around the Denver area.
James Morrison is joining his former Me Llamo Rosa bandmates on bass, an instrument he has grown an astonishing affinity for since originally learning how to play the guitar.
Strengthened with soulful vocals and powerful beats, the guys have brought everything in their arsenal to the table. They hope to take their show on the road and see the world. And with such a thirst for adventure and focus on diligence, some might say that HLL are ready for the challenge.
------------------------------------------------
"Formed from remnants of Me Llamo Rosa and Lenore, Hearts Like Lions has quietly yet steadily cultivated its stylized, backwards-glancing modern rock over the past year. With a five-song EP under its belt and another on the way, this act is poised to move to the next level." -Dave Herrera, Westword

To all of Johnny's family, friends and fans - our thoughts and prayers are with you. It's a tragedy that he was taken at such a young age. RIP.
