Rest gentlemen we don't even have a gun. Don't amount to much, with fear.

Hey you let's go to the show, there's a backdoor betty at a place I know. Hey you can you hear what I say? Cause you act like you do, but you look like you don't know. Hey you, let's go to the show there's a backdoor betty at a place I know. Pull out a little charm for the girl. When you do, how you do it reminds you the world is new. New to you. .... We're walking down both sides of the road. Split rightdown the cross of our souls. But in time we'll have to choose where that goes. And let go of our old friend control. ANd just sing... .... I'm letting go...

In the fire, when I misspoke, when I misspoke, forgive me. Grab a smoke, then we'll settle it, then we'll settle it. Til fists bleed...

Neckwell 02:05
I count the days as the sun makes it's rounds. But I can't wait til it never goes down. I count my nights on a blanket of stars. But we should take care of the places we are. So I'll be waiting neck-deep in the oil. And drag my family to the soil. We'll find a way, the path to say "I do". We'll find a way, the strength to say "I do".

Listening In 03:49
It's you and me again...

Lidless Kind 03:19
Stay. We've come all this way. To keep all our problems. And make them OK. You keep all your problems. But no complaints. With no complaints. No complaints.

about

With the Lidless Kind (to be released 7/1/2011 via Bandcamp), the band employ a direct, contained song format, while maintaining the sonic ambition that has brought them to this point. Simple melodies and sparse arrangements carry with them complex themes.

At first approach, Backdoor Betty, with its raucous, vaudevillian rhythm, sounds like a light ode to a peep show. But a more careful listen yields a more nuanced theme – behind a fun beat, thoughtful minds are at work.

Within the EP’s short span, the band’s sonic capabilities are displayed: haunting, textured (Hot Chameleon and Rest Gentlemen), fully charged superhero rock (Listening In), thoughtful ballad, (Neckwell).

about

A Scribe Amidst The Lions San Diego, California

A Scribe Amidst the Lions are a San Diego-based band, specializing in a strain of psyche-rock that aims at imagination and wide narrative. Lyrics are cryptic, themes expansive, songs structured progressively, instruments swapped at will. Thematically ambitious in the vein of Pink Floyd, with the haunting restraint of Radiohead, A Scribe Amidst the Lions reside in a world of their own telling. ... more
