  • Bio

    A band that's always changing, In Like Lions allows their diverse collection of life and musical experiences constantly inspire them. The Boston locals strive to make soulful, powerful yet approachable music. <p> In 2010 under the direction of LA based producer, Jim Dineen (Saint Motel, Adam Jones, Whiskey Saints), In Like Lions worked for over 60 hours in just four days at 1867 Recording Studio in Chelsea, MA to record "At Night," their first EP. The album garnered praise within the Boston community and showcased their talent. Following on the heels of their October 2010 release of "At Night," In Like Lions was eager to begin their second studio effort. <p> The quartet returned to 1867 Recording Studio in February 2011. This time around, Dineen was joined by owner/producer of 1867, Chris McLaughlin (Mean Creek, Magic Magic, Township) to produce ILL's latest album. <p> The band has spent over a year writing and experimenting with new sounds and ideas; working to once again separate themselves slightly from what they had previously done. They felt the combination of two producers from such different backgrounds was the only way to bring the group and it's music to places it had yet to go. The songs demonstrate In Like Lion's growth and maturation. The band's current sound is best described as "indie arena-rock." <p> The new album, titled "Through Red & Blue," will be released Valentine's Day 2012 by indie start-up Fort Point Recordings, and the band will be touring hard to promote it. You can find their "At Night" EP in Newbury Comics, on iTunes, and other major digital distribution sites.

Bio:

A band that’s always changing, In Like Lions allows their diverse collection of life and musical experiences constantly inspire them. The Boston locals strive to make soulful, powerful yet approachable music.

In 2010 under the direction of LA based producer, Jim Dineen (Saint Motel, Adam Jones, Whiskey Saints), In Like Lions worked for over 60 hours in just four days at 1867 Recording Studio in Chelsea, MA to record "At Night," their first EP. The album garnered praise within the Boston community and showcased their talent. After the October 2010 release of "At Night," In Like Lions was eager to begin their second studio effort.

The quartet returned to 1867 Recording Studio in early 2011. This time around, Dineen was joined by owner/producer of 1867, Chris McLaughlin (Mean Creek, Magic Magic, Township) to produce ILL's latest album. 
The band has spent over a year writing and experimenting with new sounds and ideas; working to once again separate themselves slightly from what they had previously done. They felt the combination of two producers from such different backgrounds was the only way to bring the group and it's music to places it had yet to go. The new LP demonstrates In Like Lion's growth and maturation.

The new album, which has yet to be named, will be released in the summer of 2011 by indie start-up Fort Point Recordings. You can find their "At Night" EP in Newbury Comics, on iTunes, and other major digital distribution sites.

“In Like Lions are a radio-ready alt-rock quartet reflecting Crow(e)s both Black and Counting…” -Michael Marotta, Boston Pheonix

“Ah, if we've heard it once, we've heard it a thousand times (to be fair, we do drink a lot in Brighton): A couple of guys express a shared interest in putting together an alt-blues rock band, get together to practice and then, an eighth and some Mario Kart later, they're just another group of never-beens. But every once in a camo can, a group like In Like Lions comes along…” -Weekly Dig

“In Like Lions plays that cool mellow rock that chicks dig…making for an easy to access hum-able set.” -Weekly Dig
