The Indy music scene is alive and well in Vancouver as we saw this week when pop-rock band Acres of Lions launched their new record, Collections.
Victoria based Acres of Lions have been heralded as “the west coast's answer to Sloan” and are reminiscent of Yes spinoff band Asia and yet their sound is entirely their own. Lead singer Jeff Kalesnikoff has a voice that's strong and vibrant and has a lasting, classic quality to it.
This week they joined the line-up at a local club and filled the venue to capacity. Their set started off with the catchy and familiar Set Me On Fire, the first cut off their new album, and included other crowd pleasing tracks like the homage to youth, Kids.
The club was wall to wall with people dancing and getting into the music, stretching back as far as the darkest corners of the room, and when they announced their last song of the night , those who weren't already on their feet joined the others for a raucous ovation. The crowd clearly enjoyed this band: a tribute to the talent that's gone in to creating it.
The third cut off their new album, Reaction has been added to the playlist of major radio stations across the country, reaching Top 30 of the Alternative Rock Chart within two weeks of its release.
Acres of Lions are Jeff Kalesnikoff on vocals and guitar, Lewis Carter on drums, Dan Ball on bass, and Tyson Yerex on guitar, and keyboards and can be seen next in Vancouver at The Media Club, November 12 when they tour with Ten Second Epic.
