Artist: WOUNDED LION Title: Creatures in the Cave Format: 7" Label: Gilgongo Country: USA Price: $6.00 |
| "A follow up to their sadly out of print debut single "Carol Cloud" released on S-S, WOUNDED LION offer two new songs. "Creatures in the Cave" is an addictive ballad tumbling in from left field, "Wyld Parrots" throws down a lo-fi Talking Heads (with a side of Wipers) vibe, and is impossible to be spun under three or four times in row. Limited to 550 copies." -Gilgongo. |

Artist: WOUNDED LION Title: Friendly? Format: 7' Label: In The Red Country: USA Price: $5.50 |
| "Los Angeles WOUNDED LION is a great no-frills pop band that sounds fresh, even when they remind one of classic American power-pop of the 70s. Inspired by The Velvets, The Cramps, The Clean and The Vaselines (as well as Credence Clearwater Revival and Kleenex), Wounded Lion is regularly seen at Los Angeles haunts such as Mr. Ts Bowl, The Smell, The Scene and Spaceland. Their hum-inducing, toe-tapping tunes wiggle their way into your brain and have you singing their choruses at the grocery store or waiting in line at the DMV. The bands formula is relatively simple: shambling, alternately silly and poignant songs that bend and twist timeless pop hooks. The bass and guitars belch out raw distortion, lending the music a primitive quality, but a whimsical sensibility elevates the abrasiveness to a jubilant level. Wounded Lion writes pop songs that celebrate the unrefined, dispensing with ego and tapping into the primal areas of the brain. LP version to follow." - In the Red. |
