Sounds LikeA PARTY.

They have a really good feel-good factor about them
- STEVE LAMACQ BBC 2

Gorgeous, sharp, life-affirming pop music, you can't beat it!
- TOM ROBINSON BBC 6 INTRODUCING

Blisteringly brilliant indie-pop that oozes summer… nauseatingly catchy and generally life-affirming
- SUBBA-CULTURE (EP OF THE MONTH)

The feel-good factor oozing from Lion O'Brien's debut Raincloud vs Sunshine EP is never more apparent than on this excellent and instantly likeable track
- RECORD OF THE DAY (THIS LIFE)

Impossible to dislike, it's just so damn infectiously happy
- GOD IS IN THE TV-ZINE

A happy clappy, perma grinning slice of lightweight pop
- SOUNDS XP

‘Raincloud vs Sunshine’ EP is jam packed full of lively and joyous pop with an alt-folk sensibility and a hint of the more chart worthy side of indie music
- 4OR THE RECORD

Standout stars of the evening were Lion O’Brien
- MATTHEW FINCH BBC LIVE REVIEW

Lion O'Brien's delightfully cheery music is a perfect accompaniment to these dog days of summer
- LOST AT SEA

Heartfelt slices of dynamic indie pop… to make you beam from ear to ear with three minutes of melody filled music
- THE BEAT SURRENDER

Catchy, feel-good indie
- LONDON TOURDATES

A fine line in infectious, feel-good indie pop
- TOO MUCH APPLE PIE

Melodic popsters
- THE GUARDIAN

Occasionally you hear a song that you immediately fall in love with... that happened with This Life
- ASP 'S MUSICAL BITES

BIOGRAPHY
Lion O'Brien write songs about love, work, robots, vampires and other aspects of common everyday life. Blending sharp lyrics with infectious melodies and anthemic choruses, Lion O'Brien are striving to forge their own original brand of feel-good music.

Formed in Bermondsey, London by vocalist and guitarist James O’Brien after the simultaneous breakdown of his old band and the break-up with his then girlfriend, a heartbroken James threw himself into writing, and a collection of upbeat, bittersweet pop songs were born that mixed his love of American indie with the euphoric passion of old motown records and a fresh take on British indie-pop. The band took shape as James was joined by bassist Mike Jones, keyboard player Catherine Wallace, guitarist Mick Fahy and drummer Sam Coll, recruited through the small ads, and the 5-piece were soon taking their energetic live shows across the UK.

For more information, please message us or contact us at lionobrienmusic@gmail.com.
