Living with Lions Gear Up for New LP, Book Massive North American Tour

BY Alex HudsonPublished Mar 4, 2011

Back in 2008, Vancouver pop punks Living with Lions got signed to the California-based Adeline Records and reissued their first full-length, Make Your Mark, soon after. Now, the band are ready to release the follow-up, which is called Holy Shit and will be out on May 10.

The album will come out on Black Box in Canada, Adeline in the U.S. and Ice Grill$ in Japan. That's the cover art above, and you can get a taste of the album in the form of the single "Honesty, Honestly," which features the band's usual blend of punk grit and pop sparkle. It's embedded at the bottom of this page.

Just below the streaming single, watch a video trailer for the album. It shows the musicians getting their butts tattooed with the album title and release date. Kudos to Living with Lions for their commitment to the cause.

According to the video, the album tracks "Honesty, Honestly" and "When We Were Young" will be released on an upcoming seven-inch. The band will also be going on a lengthy North American tour, which includes several Canadian dates. See the schedule below.
