Acres Of Lions

Acres of Lions are a pop-rock band based in Victoria, BC. Their music is lyrically-driven and influenced by early 90's emo bands such as The Get Up Kids and Jimmy Eat World.
2011 marks the second year in which Acres of Lions have been selected by Music BC as one of the 'Top 20 Bands in BC', as part of the Peak Performance Project. 2011 also marks the release of the band's sophomore album, Collections.
Collections, which will be released on September 13, features ten brand new tracks that take the band's sound in a more pop-influenced direction. The first single, "Reaction", was mixed by legendary engineer Mike Fraser and has been added to the playlist of several radio stations across the country.
