Moving Along

Description

After years in the wilderness – working as a trash collector, surviving cancer, and serious work injuries – they are back with the next album produced by Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Greta Van Fleet, Brandi Carlile, Rival Sons). Yet even having experienced the best and worst of the old music business – hanging out with Todd Rundgren, Bob Ezrin, and Peter Buck from R.E.M., or seeing an A&R guy almost fired just for going to see them play – the band somehow kept going, releasing music in fits and starts. For example, Lions in the Street released an EP in 2013 on British legend Sandy Roberton's label. Roberton ran Blue Horizon, the English label that launched the '60s British blues rock movement with John Mayall, Fleetwood Mac, and Rory Gallagher. Today, the streaming platform revolution has given Lions in the Street a new lease on life as an audience, allowing them to release largely unreleased music, finally finished and remixed/remastered. Lions in the Street started their career by signing with and then walking away from troubled acts TVT Records (NIN, Pitbull, Little Jon), Nickelback's 604 Records (Carly Rae Jepson), and legendary manager Allen Kovac (Motley Crue, The Cars, Blondie, The Bee Gees), earning them a place on the music industry blacklist.
