“You know that look in a fish’s eye when you’re pushing the hook through so that you can cut the barb off? Lion Sized translates that electric tension with eloquent violence on this six-song detonation of wiry punk.”
Jason Heller, The Onion

“On its self-titled debut EP, Lion Sized rips and roars its way through six loud songs of calculated, aggressive, minor-chord post-punk. Recorded live this past summer at Uneven Studios, the disc finds the trio plowing through its material in less than fourteen minutes, without ever sounding hurried or insincere. Indeed, few bands manage to be so profoundly impressive in so little time.”
Drew Bixby, Westword

“The boys have probably heard the Fugazi comparisons, but they’re apt and complimentary. The breathless set barely paused between the taut, squirrely songs.”
John Wenzel, Denver Post

“Josh has some pretty nice dance moves.”

   About LION SIZED
• In 2007, Lion Sized took a 14 month break and in that time Josh went back to school and got hitched. Duncan moved to Jacksonville to become a full-time professor and Shane Trost (Slim Cessna's Auto Club) joined Lion Sized on the low end.
• In November 2006, Lion Sized released 6 songs recorded at Bryan Feuchtinger’s Uneven Studios.
• Josh drove 150 miles in the wrong direction after playing a show in Billings, Mont.
• Number Three recently locked himself out of his house in his underwear.
• Duncan is a doctor of books. His first novel was published by Afterbirth Books.
• Lion Sized wraps themes of economics, love, sacrifice and death into high-energy mini-epics delivered in rapid succession.
• Number Three’s high school in Reno was named after Steve McQueen.
• Josh and Number Three began writing short bursts of intense, downstroke rock in late 2005. Not long after that, Duncan completed the Lion Sized lineup. The band played its first show a few months later.
• Duncan and Josh both grew up in Louisville, Ky., and share the tendency to elongate certain vowel sounds.
• Josh and Number Three have been in a bunch of other bands, but not as many as Duncan.
• Duncan and Number Three also play together in d.biddle.
• Lion Sized is named after a large, tailless cat called Angus Levi.
• When Josh was a kid, he refused to sing.
