Sunday Styles: Lions in the Street

The Band formerly known as The Years is now Lions in the Street. They are on MySpace, naturally, and are still kicking out songs as if the 80's and 90's never even happened. Here's how they described themselves in an interview at Tortonabeat:
Longhaired Canadians, tired of getting kicked in the balls by the record business in the US, release music for free to the people (www.myspace.com/lionsinthestreet) . We turned down making a record with Todd Rundgren, same with Bob Ezrin. The vibe wasn't right. Instead we're releasing free homemade demos, recorded by us, in our basement, with accompanying homemade videos. And they sound killer. We might be the best pure rock and roll band in the world. Dig it. And the only current rock AND roll band with a great guitar player, in the style of Mick Taylor or Eric Clapton.

You'll be able to catch them at the Lamplighter April 1 and you can check out their homemade - like mama's lasagna - video for the single "Lady Blue" here. And they're latest video, Already Gone - which even features the band eating Chinese food. Rock it. And download those tracks.
