AS LIONS – SINGLE REVIEW

As Lions – Selfish Age (Better Noise/Eleven Seven Music)

As Lions - Selfish Age

Release Date: Out Now

In the month when the world of music lost a leading light in the form Chester Bennington, it feels encouraging that bands like As Lions exist. The London 5 piece’s new single ‘Selfish Age’ is a great piece of social commentary on the consumerism of modern Western society as they sing “the more I take, the less I want, the selfish age is too far gone” and that would be enough in a lot of people but then they go and do something a bit special. Not content with driving rhythm and big rock guitars, As Lions go and stick a massive anthemic chorus in the middle which is part Linkin Park, part Rudimental and a whole lot of fun. So, that’s social awareness mixed in with the kind of rock tune that should, by rights, make hordes of people go bat-shit crazy in any given field on any given summer’s day. You in? I am.
