The Lions Rampant Crafting Catchy Garage Rock Tinged Tunes

GROOVY ALERT! I'm listening to the first track "Your Love" off the album It's Fun To Do Bad Things and really digging it.

The Lions Rampant "Lights On"

Good tune, but for my money my least favorite on the record!

Catchy no? It's like a poppy Mudhoney maybe? I think I'll investigate further.

“On Bad Things, we wanted to expand our musical horizons and focus tighter on songwriting while still remaining true to our wild and free rock n roll / punk rock beginnings. The album is a celebration of figuring out love and pushing one’s boundaries,” says frontman and vocalist Stuart Mackenzie. “It tells the story of a young romantic and his search for love, taking things to the limit, enjoying the nightlife, falling in and out of love. These songs are a ‘diary’ of sorts…definitely a coming of age for us. The album title is a tongue-in-cheek. Rock n’ roll has always been about bad behavior as The Shangrilas once said. But we’re not what you would call ‘bad evil’ of course. The Lions Rampant us definitely ‘good evil.’ And that’s what this record is all about…” adds Mackenzie.
