    HARD DAYS
    by FOUR LIONS


    Format: Vinyl, CD, digital
    Label: Verse Chorus Verse
    Release date: May 1, 2019


    Central Victorian roots rockers Four Lions will release their fourth album Hard Days on May 1 - and the band says it is their best work yet.

    “It’s something I listen back to, and there is nothing I would change,” frontman and chief songwriter Shann Lions says.

    Hard Days was recorded over a fortnight last July at Melbourne’s Head Gap Studios by Finn Keane (“He’s very understated and utterly brilliant,” says Lions), and produced by The Greasy Triplets (Lions, lead guitarist Keith MacQueen, and Keane).

    “I wanted to make an album that wasn’t rushed, but sonically was an amalgamation of everything we had done previously,” Lions says.

    Unlike previous albums, five of Hard Days’ 11 tracks feature inter-band collaborations. “There is one song which we all wrote together (the second single Stay), and I can see album No.5 having more of that approach,” Lions says.

    “I did a combination of the styles of writing of all the previous albums, but listened to alot of pop music. I wanted my writing to be diverse in an indirect way.”

    Hard Days was mixed by Sam Kassirer in Boston, Massachusetts, to whom Lions reached out after hearing his production work on David Ramirez’s 2017 album We’re Not Going Anywhere – his favourite record of that year.

    “Being able to have Sam mix the album is one of the best things musically to happen in my life,” Lions enthuses. “Great people strive you to build towards greatness.”

    And Lions’ ambitions for the album? “A tour with (Bruce) Springsteen or Wilco after they hear it!” he laughs.“Plus to have enough people like it and buy it so we can record album No.5, and I can buy myself a ‘90s pinball machine.”

    The release of Hard Days will be followed by a tour of regional and metropolitan Victoria in late May and early June, and a string of interstate dates later in the year.

Words Written By Shann Lions
Music Written By Shann Lions/Keith MacQueen

lyrics

Bent on Revenge

I try to keep my enemies closer, No one wins on this battle line
Stand under the bridge with its dirty water
good will's embers build some desire

Bent On Revenge, ain't our friend, use us all till who's knows when? Bent on revenge, Bent on revenge

Years later on a suburban street added a patch to a slow leak
Competition or a regime? As the glue tears away from a seam.

Bent On Revenge, ain't our friend, use us all till who's knows when? Bent on revenge, Bent on revenge
Bent On Revenge, ain't our friend, use us all till who's knows when? Bent on revenge, Bent on revenge

Bent on revenge, bent on revenge, bent on revenge, bent on revenge
