"LIONS & TIGERS had me from hello. ZAIRE roars and purrs as these New Yorkers (by way of Martha’s Vineyard) should be on everyone’s hip list soon enough." futuresounds.blogspot.com, March 1, 2007

THE DELI MAGAZINE
"...their tunes sound friggin' great! Edgy, indie rock of the "spacey-punky-glammy" variety full of attitude. Traces of Bowie in the lead vocals, big screamy [backing vocals] a la Clash, wide keyboard pads mixed as loud as the driving guitar, tight performances and the essense of rock'n'roll: tension and release, storm and quietness. Check out this Mp3, it's really good!"

THE L MAGAZINE
"Lions & Tigers play a brand of post punk that is totally infectious and danceable. But aside from some pop leanings, the band keeps a thread of darkness thoughout with vocal and musical ferocity. Their latest record, ZAIRE, boasts textured compositions that feature church pianos, evil bass, and a synth-guitar attack that adds a gritty power to their overall sound."

THE VILLAGE VOICE
"...Lions & Tigers, who have nailed that gothy post-punk sound of Wire, Tones On Tail, and, especially, Beneath The Shadows-era T.S.O.L. Good Stuff!" - Bosler
