Lions In The Street

"Anyone who's ever worn out a copy of the Stones' It's Only Rock & Roll or The Black Crowes' Shake Your Moneymaker is going to find LOTS to love on Lions In The Street's self-titled full-length debutThis is rock with a direct line back to the nasty blues, jump tunes, and country boogie that birthed the whole damn genre. Untamed, direct, and bristling with hairy masculinity, Lions In The Street play rock like the cause it is…that is when you do it rightThe songwriting is primo, gut-level gold, the execution even better, and the production clean – the sound of a pure rock 'n' roll beast on the prowl."--Dennis Cook, Jam Base



"What the Stones were, and what the Dandy Warhols should've been"--Magnet.



"The first great band I saw at SXSW this year"--Michael Corcoran, Austin-American Statesman.



Vancouver's Lions In The Street have finally released their debut full-length album independently, after a four-year fight with the now-bankrupt TVT Records. These songs (mostly recorded live to tape at Mushroom Studios with Shawn Cole) take pre-punk rock and roll as their starting point, but are inspired ultimately by the spirit of gospel music: this is the kind of weary-though-hopeful, beaten-but-not-broken record that only a band who had been through the ringer could make.
