Fresh Finds: Class Of 2025 – Aussie Acts To Add To Your Playlist

EP Focus: Lion Island

The lowdown on Lion Island's new EP Back To The Start.

Band: Lion Island

Name of EP: Back To The Start

Label: Independent

How many tracks: four

Tell us a little bit about the release: We recorded and produced it ourselves in a shed with creaky old gear and a boat builder next door doing his best to get a credit for “random industrial noises”.

What do you have planned for the launch? It's going to be us, another folky ensemble called Winter Solstice, and Rory J Dawson from Friends Of Ben doing a solo set.

What's on the horizon for the band? Doing a few shows and then getting stuck into some new material.

Lion Island launch their new EP Back To The Start at Beetle Bar on Thursday 12 April.
