Living With Lions is beardy pop punk from Van city, Canada. Holy Shit is the band's third full length, and first with new vocalist Stu Ross, formerly the mastermind behind Misery Signals. Did I mention you can really hear the beardy-ness of the band? It's like every member of this band got dumped by slutty girls, went home, smoked 17 packs of handrolled smokes, drank Gin from the bottle, and wrote one of my favourite albums of the year. Like seriously, fuck conventional genres, this band is pop orgcore. Honesty, Honestly is the standout track on this one, complete with gang chants, emotional lyrics, catchy melody and a really neat video. Whatever You Want and Matthew's Anthem are really sweet too. So is the rest of the album. Oh yeah, this is the band who got in (Holy) shit after people realized their 'anti-religious' album was funded by the Canadian Government ( get it, Holy Shit? Jesus is also picture as fecal matter on the album's insert if the point wasn't clear enough.). And their van nearly got destroyed during the Vancouver riots. Support these fellas.
FFO: Daggermouth, The Wonder Years, None More Black
Sounds like: Manly men playing emotional pop punk
