When one thinks of the contemporary worldwide Oi! and streetpunk scene, it is impossible to exclude Paris, France's Lion's Law from the conversation. During a time when tastes and trends come and go, Lion's Law has stood resolute for over a decade, and will continue to do so. Hence the title of their latest LP, Evermore. This is a band that staked their claim before Oi! enjoyed much of the popularity it does today, and they will still be here when those less dedicated have faded away.The band are rated around the world for their explosive, furious live show, and tough as nails songwriting that evokes the imagery of their namesake. Capturing that energy, and all of the sweat and blood that goes along with it, in the grooves of a record is always the challenge, and across the 15 songs that comprise Evermore, Lion's Law do an admirable job of doing just that. Sticking true to their roots but always evolving, incorporating elements of hardcore, punk, and more into a unified sound, Lion's Law tell you in no uncertain terms exactly how it is with songs like "The World is On Fire" and "Before Your Eyes," expressing all the rage and torment of the modern age. And lest you think there are no surprises left, the album closes with a cover of "I Ran" by 80s new wave hitmakers A Flock of Seagulls, which the band naturally puts their own stamp on.Pressing Info:Color 1: 600 LP (Pirates/Band) (Red Velvet Marble Blend)Color 2: 700 LP (Pirates) (Oxblood)Tracklist:1.
