“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.” Tiffany Childs

• 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.
