"The Bootleg Lilos evoke the exact point when a lazy, sun-drenched afternoon turns into a cider-fuelled evening in the great outdoors." - Artrocker Magazine
"You really need to see this band live to fully appreciate the genius mix of music, intelligence and humour" - Girls In Green Shoes
The Bootleg Lilos offer an in-sight into a new wave of alternative indie pop with their high tempo riffs and refreshingly relevant lyrics. Each member’s own particular musical influences, have brought together a unified sound that warms ear and settles the soul.
Using humorous irony and tales of everyday hedonism set against a modern guitar sound, The Bootleg Lilos use their inspirations to create something original, varied and fun.
"Sunkissed indie with proper riffs" - Steve Harris XFM
“ Pure sunshine in a beer bottle, these guys are the sound of summer.” - Shazzabelle (Music Journo)
