Boston’s post-hardcore phenomenon LIONS LIONS has announced they will join SLEEPING WITH SIRENS on thier upcoming US headline tour. Kicking off in Atlanta, GA on March 13, the 19-date month-long run will also feature CONDITIONS and DANGERKIDS. The band comments, “We’re honored to be going back on the road with Sleeping with Sirens. They’ve been friends of ours for a couple years now, and they’ve been very supportive of what we do. We’re hoping to reach new ears and sweat profusely on people across the country. Also, Conditions and Dangerkids are amazing bands, so this tour is going to be killer. See you there.” A full list of dates is below.
The band has also teamed up with PROPERTY OF ZACK to release the music video for their track “Grounded.” For the music video, the band decided to focus on the topic of homelessness awareness. “We thought it would be cool for the ‘Grounded’ video to put the focus on helping people,” explains vocalist Joshua Herzer. “We hit the streets in Providence and Boston to shed light on the very real poverty problem in this country. The people we met were so kind and gracious, they maintain a positive attitude during the absolute worst of times, it’s really inspiring.” The music video for “Grounded” was directed by James Barbosa and Robert Nordberg and also edited by James Barbosa.

With the release of their stunning album TO CARVE OUR NAMES, LIONS LIONS has been favored by many as the band conveys a distinct, yet familiar post-hardcore sound, reminiscent of early Story Of The Year, Thrice and The Used. “Boston’s Lions Lions might just be the band to wake up the post-hardcore/screamo genre,” explains GetExposedMusic.com. The band also released a digital EP in light of the holidays. The EP features an acoustic rendition of their album track “The Right Steps,” which can be heard here.
