Hear them lions roar

It is a ragingly awful day weather wise here in the ‘Burgh. Why not introduce your ears to some music to accompany your indoor dancing and head banging session? We presume this sort of thing happens when Edinburgh goes climate change mad. So move the sofa to the side, slam this on and dance and pout like a cross between Mick Jaggar and a Pussycat Doll. Introducing the musically stimulating: The Gold Lions.

As you can see there are two of them and they make the sounds currently hitting your eardrums- Handclaps and gold stars for that feat first of all. They sort of sound like what Jack White would be doing more of if he could stay in the same fucking band for more than two minutes crossed with the Rolling Stones. If, for some obscure reason you dislike either of the parties featured in this descriptive artist mash-up may we suggest that you:

 A) Calm down and get a grip it was just an innocent aural explanation OR

 B) Choose one artist who plays guitar and sings from the past decade (not John Mayer though for obvious reasons) (He's a dick) and mix it with a late 60s early 70s rock/blues band.

After doing either of these options you are more than likely to end up with a ‘sounds like’ story all of your own for The Gold Lions. Congratulations reader!(s)! Those who love an acoustic number will not be made to feel left out with these boys. Here’s a version of a wee song called Silver Screen featuring a marathon whistling sesh:

Imagine all ‘Yoofs in Hoodys’ were replaced by that sort of entertainment in the dark places they like to reside such as tunnels and alleyways? A potentially new Scottish investment for THIS GUY maybe?

There isn’t a massive amount to go on biography wise with Gold Lions but for the sake of listening to some good tunes and maybe even purchasing them – do you really need it? Unless you make musical purchase decisions based purely on how many covers of Heat magazine the artist has made we are sure you will be fine with this one. If you do want to purchase their tunes you can do so HERE and if you want more than the tight fisted 30second iTunes clip to go on you can peruse HERE. They are also well up for the whole social networking thing and regularly update Twitter; for all out there who are just too busy living their bloody lives to read more than 140 characters of information at a time.
