Lejonen Lejonen 12″
Leonine supergroup LEJONEN with a debut 12” here. Made up of various bods from other notable bands such as OXLEY’S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS, VICIOUS RUMOURS, FATSKINS, et al, you do end up asking the question “why did they bother?” It’s too polished, it’s not memorable in the slightest, and with lyrics bemoaning “kids these days” and the Vietnam war, it basically feels like the reactionary middle-aged ramblings of a father at a divorce hearing set to GarageBand presets. Not to mention pretending to be a medieval warrior is just about tolerable when the TEMPLARS do it, but here it has the same cognitive dissonance of seeing someone from Wigan wearing a cowboy hat.
