Born Lion formed in Sydney from remnants of The Watt Riot in early 2012. Armed with ex-member of Town Hall Steps & Bayonets for Legs, the band's sole purpose is to create some righteous punk rock. It’s a combination of fucked up chords, angular rhythms, hard beats, and shouty double vocals.

After two east coast tours in the last six months, Born Lion drop their debut self-titled EP on March 1st. Two singles from this independent release, Livin’ Tough and Adolescent Oaths, have both received strong support from local and national radio stations. The EP was recorded with notorious Sydney Producer, Dave Hammer (The Snowdroppers, Die!Die!Die!)

To celebrate the release of their debut EP the fellas are getting back in the van and will be bringing their punk rock bangers to venues in QLD, NSW and VIC all throughout March 2013.

Hard to fault. Both tracks by these guys are killer.

Adolescent Oaths
rating:  5/5
This is the best. There's a touch of The Hives to it but it kicks a lot harder.

Livin' Tough
rating:  4/5
Really impressed with this.. So much Fugazi-esque riffage that I was impressed and loving this 30 seconds into the song.
