“…unpretentious, unabashed and really rather refreshing.” – Rolling Stone (3.5/5)
“…custom built to get a live crowd on side and chanting.” – The Music (4/5 – AOTW)
If you want your rock music full of heart, packed with searing riffage and energetic as hell, then Sydney’s BORN LION are for you. Released today via FOUR|FOUR Music, their debut album‘Final Words’ is a twisting and turning barrage of furious punk rock’n’roll with a distinctly scintillating Australian sound. Blast it while chatting under the hills hoist over a beer on a hot summer night. The whole thing is streaming, cover to cover via Rolling Stone, so listen up over here.
Recognised as the purveyors of killer videos for ‘Break the Curse’ and ‘Good Times Jimmy’, the video for current single ‘Good Dogs Play Dead’ premiered on Channel [V] just yesterday. It’ll take you on a tour of the aftermath of the kind of party these guys are no doubt chucking after every show, with a shocking ending considerably less desirable than those of Born Lion’s tour debaucheries…

Speaking of tour shenanigans, Born Lion have announced they’ll be pounding the bitumen to launch their monster LP through August, September and October. The band will tear through most states, smash two epic Melbourne shows and blow the industry’s hair back with a slot on this year’s BIGSOUND live program. Do not miss these boys doing what they do best. The Music reckon it’ll “rock with a rhythm that will rough you up like a cat’s tongue in your ear.”
