Living With Lions is a Canadian outfit who originally released this EP in 2007. Since then they’ve also dropped a full-length called “Make Your Mark” and now Adeline is re-releasing both of those. I missed out on “Dude Manor” the first time around but luckily I got to play catch up now because this is a fun release. The dudes of the manor play poppunk the way a hardcore band would play old Blink covers… fast, melodic and with just the right amount of grit in them. And for once no whiny voice that drags the whole into emo territory! Nope, this is all-out high-octane poppunk just like their friends in Daggermouth like to play.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
