Hailing A Cab In Hell

I Can Do Anything

Through Red & Blue marks In Like Lions sophomore release on Fort Point Recordings. As a conceptual travel along the arcs of love, this album examines it’s full spectrum —the warmth, the fulfillment, the pain, the desire—while avoiding anything resembling schmaltz. With addictive hooks and complex-layered rock, In Like Lions combines influences from grunge to soul with a sensibility for “radio friendly” pop music.

“In Like Lions latest album, Through Red & Blue, harnesses...qualities to forge a truly impressive collection of pop songs. The record, ... is a unique combination of Top 40 pop sound, soul, and R&B, with a splash of rock n’ roll added for good measure. "Honey" is the stand-out track on Through Red & Blue, complete with up-tempo guitar riffs and a hook so catchy you’ll be singing the words long after the song is over. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by Through Red & Blue. In Like Lions have found the formula for making great pop songs and seem poised to make a huge impact on the Boston (and New England) music scene with this latest release.” - Daniel McMahon, thedelimagazine.com (Jan 30, 2012)

“In Like Lions, is a radio-destined pop-rock band whose new Through Red and Blue — recorded over 84 hours back in February — is a romantic homage to the long-lost heyday of the FM dial." - Michael Marotta , thephoenix.com (Dec 28, 2011)

Viva Viva is Rock & Roll. The band's unbridled energy can be heard on this highly
anticipated self-titled debut album. Viva Viva's reputation has grown steadily over
the years and supported by “the shoulders of explosive live performances" Coined
in 2010 as Boston’s "best live rock n’ roll band" by the Editor of the Boston Phoenix,
Viva Viva’s eager fans finally have an album that captures that Ethos.

After years of blood, sweat, tears, whiskey bottles, Boston's Viva Viva has an album
that is equally as impressive and catchy as their live show. With influences from the
heyday of the 60's and 70's, their sound is equal parts infectious-pop and
dark-stomping-blues, combined with their own blend of hope, disappointment, grit,
and wit. "Keep Looking Good Looking" and "Valentine" have been getting spins
regularly on Boston's WFNX Radio, and moving sweaty crowds of fans with their
high-energy shows.

Viva Viva - Let It Go

Viva Viva - On With The Show

ABOUT THE TRACK: "Dead in yr tracks (the song) is a bastardized tribute to the rolling stones "miss you". Where instead of getting the girl and being a millionaire you're down and out chasing a girl around town with a chip on yr shoulder. Part two is a underdog fight song with clever word play."

Come on and crawl down to the basement now with us, and let Viva Viva's raw-as-Raw Power rock n' roll rattle your bones. Born out of a shoebox full of four-tracks, recorded in an apartment, Viva Viva has spent years honing their particular brand of blues-fueled rock in dirty underground venues and blacked-out bars. Now, with their new EP Dead In Yr Tracks, they're inviting you to listen.

Dead In Yr Tracks was recorded at Converse Rubber Tracks Studio in Brooklyn, after Viva Viva was one of 10 bands selected at 2011's SXSW Festival by Converse and presented with a Golden Record, and an invitation to record at their new studio. The EP is a heady, hissing four-track sampler of what Viva Viva does best: a grinding, chugging rock n' roll that sounds like it's been kicked out of the garage and dragged through the mud. But it's got a pop sensibility to it that's familiar and infectious, like the Rolling Stones passed out in a dive-bar bathroom, getting slapped awake by the Kinks. Drawing on old-school influences, Dead In Yr Tracks, the band's third release on Fort Point Recordings, serves as an unhinged testament to bare-bones soul of rock n' roll.

Named one of Paste Magazine's "10 Massachusetts Bands You Should Listen to Now"

Currently featured in the Converse 'Well Worn' ad campaign, with billboards posted in NYC, LA and across the country, and print ads in major media outlets such as LA Weekly, the Austin Chronicle, and Vice Magazine.

Dead In Yr Tracks

ABOUT THE TRACK: "Black Cat is a cynical stab at r&b. An updated Kinks type tune about the bottom falling out and all we're doing about it is being bored."
