Holy Shit

VINYL FORMAT. Comes with a digital download code! Living With Lions' second full-length record, provocatively titled Holy Shit, comes at the end of a long and winding road, since the band formed in 2007. From the start, there was something tangibly different about Living With Lions – their trademark dynamics and anthem-esque melody – set them apart in the punk rock community. The sound is something exciting, fresh, and definitively theirs. They wear their influences proudly while cultivating an experience all their own. The amicable departure of two founding members during the recording process delayed the completion of Holy Shit. The remaining members (Chase Brenneman – guitar/vocals, Landon Matz – guitar, Loren Legare – drums) converted their frustration and disappointment about the departures and delays into creative energy. Recruiting long time friends Stuart Ross (vocals) and Bill Crook (bass/vocals) to round out the lineup, the band quickly finished the album and emerged rejuvenated, refocused and motivated.

Holy Shit reveals a group of young musicians, songwriters and friends maturing and truly coming into their own on all levels. The album touches on all the hallmarks of good punk rock – angst, frustration, regret, longing and triumph – while staying true to the band's definative sound. "These songs are all about real people and situations that we've had to deal with," says guitarist Chase Brenneman. "It's something people can definitely relate to on their own level."
