Sounds Like

-------------------------

"I do like the rawness of 'The Lions' album [New Rise Of The Footsoldier]...I think all bands should be forced to have a list like that on their album just to prove that they have some musical credentials and that they've done their homework"
Jim Gellatly, BBC Radio: Jim Gellatlys New Music (podcast 76 2010)

-------------------------

"Judging by the line-up at their merch booth after their set, it was eviedent that the crowd was stoked with their performance"
Tanner Holthe, Beatroute, Live Music Review (on opening for Jet, Nov 2009)
-------------------------
-------------------------

"The Lions is the kind of good old-fashioned rock and roll band that doesn’t get praised enough"
Alan Cho, FFWD Magazine, June 25 2009
-------------------------

-------------------------
"The Lions have been stalking Calgary’s clubs for almost half a decade, and their new songs certainly reflect that experience — they’re dark and atmospheric, and a natural expansion of the band’s Brit-pop leanings."
Peter Hemminger, FFWD Magazine Editor, May 28 2009

-------------------------

-------------------------
"They're local and they're fabulous...raw working man's rock 'n' roll!"
Charles Gunn, CBC Radio 1: The Key of A
