With Lions: Touch The Sound EP

FIRST OF FOUR EPS TO BE RELEASED IN NEXT 12 MONTHS

With Lions

Singers/guitarists Christian Celaya (Benzos) and Woody Ranere (Lake Trout), have joined forces as With Lions. November 1, 2011 marks the kick-off of an ambitious four-EPs-a-year cycle with the first release titled, Touch the Sound.

With Lions is both a band and a production team that splits their time between New York City and Baltimore, where they have been composing music for film and TV for the last three years. After amassing a large catalog of songs numbering in the hundreds, covering everything from shoegaze to industrial, orchestral to electro, and more, they began to focus on transitioning to the band side of things.

They are currently preparing a number of releases, choosing a different approach to catalog their compositions in shorter groupings, such as EPs. Each release will explore a different mood and direction, thus freeing the band from the confines of a certain sound or trademark that their previous outfits were categorized by.

Their first live performance takes place Friday, November 11 at New York’s Mercury Lounge, where With Lions will be backed by a full band of their cohorts from the past, playing all of Touch the Sound as well as new tunes from the upcoming EP releases. While Touch the Sound‘s live setup will include members of Benzos and Lake Trout in a more traditional rock band alignment, the forthcoming releases will include everything from string quartets and horn sections to an army of synthesizers.
