THOSE YOUNG LIONS
Those Young Lions is from a Midwest City left for dead. The constantly (and erroneously) brushed over Indianapolis scene has given wide swath for locals to burrow outside any national glare and cultivate a rich schism echoing the state's iconoclast history: from the jacked-up, teenage rave ups The McCoys to class outlaw John Dillinger. Those Young Lions assimilate those into part spit-tooth protest/street anthems and lacerated ballads: a right-on soundtrack for crawling out and setting fires.
For the past plus-decade, these four lions have been a part of Indiana's bar-packing, style-crowing groups. Guitarist and vocalist Beemer was the drummer for America Owns The Moon, heralded by many as a top tier of most beloved Hoosier groups; bassist Kris Messer was in the maximum rock and roll-fueled The Slurs. Drummer/vocalist Devon Ashley (The Lemonheads/The Pieces) and lead guitarist/vocalist Sean McGary complete the group. Working with producer Paul Mahern (singer of the legendary Zero Boys) this 7 songs release is captured with a post-1976 sheen of fierce, crystallized voltage all recorded direct to tape.
