Product Description Stone Lion's debut album successfully eschews the pop archetype of style without substance while maintaining a public appeal. The songs on A Better Life run the gamut – from the searing pain of lost love, apparent in the title track; to the upbeat, teen angst-ridden, "Spoiled;" to the socially conscious, "22 (Out of the Cathedral)." Each of the band’s five members brings his and her own personal experience to both writing and performing the songs, and the result is a truly formidable creation. Finally, the real thing... About the Artist Stone Lion features a unique amalgam of styles and cultures, reflecting the diverse backgrounds in the city from which they hail. The band formed in the Bronx, New York in 1999 by drummer, Mike Flaherty, guitarist, Steve Moyik, and bassist, Mina Mohr, and their debut effort, A Better Life, is an experiment in pop, rock, blues and funk with sometimes indefinable, but always memorable, results. With the added bonus of both Will Lugo and Sarah Chaney on vocals, each song on A Better Life takes on a feeling and dimension all its own. The tracks are catchy, yet not repetitive; complex, yet not complicated; technically sound, yet not robotic.
