Living with Lions is a Canadian pop punk band formed in 2007 in Vancouver.[1] They are currently signed to Black Box Music in Canada and Adeline Records in the United States.[2][3]
History
[edit]The band recorded their debut EP, Dude Manor in 2006 with Stu McKillop (member of the disbanded Vancouver group Daggermouth).[4]
The band released their second full-length album, Holy Shit, on May 17, 2011, shortly after releasing a music video for "Honesty, Honestly". Holy Shit is the first release to feature the new singer, Stu Ross[5] (Lowtalker, Misery Signals).
Shortly after the release of Holy Shit, the band took criticism from American media and the Canadian Heritage minister regarding the album's physical content, with packaging and liner notes that imitate the bible and depict Jesus Christ as a turd.[6][7]
In 2012, Stu Ross left the band to play guitar in Comeback Kid and Matt Postal briefly rejoined. Postal's last show with the band was in August. Bill Crook was a member of Spiritbox from 2018 to 2022, and died in July 2024.[8]
