The Boy with the Lion Head is a five piece from the Scottish Borders that play indie post rock. They combine raw edged, Scottish tongued vocals with intricately layered atmospheric sounds to create catchy chorus driven songs that are delivered as passionately told true stories. In 2015 the band released a self recorded acoustic EP ‘The Ebb and Flow’ to greater success than expected.
