Rock ‘n’ roll, direct and with no qualifiers, is Lions In The Street’s business. What sets the Vancouver band apart from the defanged mainstream is that their modern denim-and- leather heaviness is anchored in the raucousness of the Rolling Stones and the gravitas of Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac. Over the past decade, Chris Kinnon (lead guitar, vocals), Sean Casey (rhythm, acoustic and slide guitars), Enzo Figliuzzi (bass) and Jeff Kinnon (drums, vocals) have become masters of coarse rock and strident roll, both of which the group’s new On The Lam EP has in spades (February 19, Beverly Martel Records).
