What if Jeff Buckley had played with a punk band? What if he had found his band members on Craiglist, and been a big Radiohead fan too? While I’m not sure if Mr. Buckley had Internet (or Craigslist) access, it’s the reason Bury Me A Lion found each other, and probably why each member of this quartet sounds so entirely different from one another, while just happening to come together so well. Latest EP ‘Year of the Lion’ demonstrates how the band is able to find a place for roof-tearing vocals amidst a clash of jangly guitars and booming drums. Tracks like ‘Dinosaur’ and ‘One Arm for Another’ especially rip through the album’s setlist with a crash course urgency, pitting rock abandon against huge, powerhouse vocals. Check it out and see the band when they play Arlene’s Grocery Jun 28. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
