Buzz Track: This Won’t Last For Long
The indie pop band, A Lion Named Roar, a Kings favorite has released a new song and still remains a front runner. From winning national battle-of-the-bands competitions in Nashville to being hand-selected among 6,000 entries by Nigel Lythgow of FOX networks ‘Americas Next Greatest Band’, these bluegrass locals have been kicking down doors in hopes that people would pay attention. The band has already showcased for several major labels, even passing on an offer which was a mutual decision because of the bands ever evolving sound and growing industry buzz. The upcoming 6 song EP is currently being mixed by Craig Alvin (Hanson, Gungor, The Features) with a late summer 2012 release to be announced.
