Ahead of the Lions

Living Things is made up of three brothers - Lillian, Eve and Bash Berlin - who grew up in the socially conservative suburbs of St. Louis, jamming their way through their teens in their parent's basement. Their debut album, Ahead of Lions, hits the streets hard. It delivers a bullshit-free, shiv-sharp collection of surly rock with the simplicity of the Ramones and the fury of Nirvana. Their lyrics are inspired by an acute political awareness and aim to provoke dialogue. Recorded by Steve Albini (PJ Harvey, Nirvana), Ahead of Lions was tracked and mixed in St. Louis, Chicago and Stockholm.
