Victoria's Acres Of Lions will release their Working full-length debut on Feb. 10 through Cordova Bay Records and will tour in support of it throughout February and March.
Working was recorded by Adam Sutherland (Armchair Cynics) and mixed by Warne Livesey (Matthew Good, Midnight Oil). You can hear lead single "Closer" and two other songs from Working on Acres Of Lions' MySpace page.
Singer/guitarist Jeffrey K, bassist Dan Ball and drummer Lewis Carter began playing together in 2006. They released a three-song demo in 2007 before adding guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist Tyson Yerex to the lineup to record last year's self-titled EP.
