Sydney-based hard rock band, Born Lion released their sophomore full-length album ‘Celebrate the Lie’ in 2018, produced by Jimmy Balderstone (Luca Brasi, High Tension) and mixed by Ryan Hazell (The Drones, Green Buzzard).
Not being a band that can rest on their laurels for long, these gentlemen of rock got back into a creative space and have nailed it with the latest single ‘Bigger Than Jesus’ (2019).
This track comes out swinging like King Kong’s nether regions! With engineering from Jason Blackwell (Midnight Oil, The Hard-Ons) and mixing and mastering from Forrester Savall (Karnivool, Shihad), the result is a super high energy and frenetic party anthem from a band seeking to escape their demons.

Born Lion release new album Celebrate The Lie
▼ Click read story
Following on from their 2015 debut album Final Words, Born Lion have returned with their sophomore album, Celebrate the Lie.
Produced by Jimmy Balderstone (Luca Brasi, High Tension, Grenadiers) and mixed by Ryan Hazell (The Drones, Green Buzzard), the album combines angsty punk-rock, frenetic hardcore and unapologetic monstrous pop-hooks, to deliver on what is quite simply a straight up, raucous, no bull-shit, razor-sharp rock n’ roll record.
Writing for the album began in winter 2016 in a tiny, frosty rehearsal space in Southern Sydney. Over six-months the quartet narrowed down eleven tracks, before heading to Adelaide to record the final cuts over two-weeks.
The band are on tour around Australia this month.
