Hailing from Sheffield, England, Lina and the Lion’s core members Lina Lane and Lee Feltham met in a pub in their hometown as young teens and in 2020 launched Lina and the Lions. The pair have independently released 6 singles, 4 music videos and a full length album, "Second Nature”. In their first year, Lina and the Lions built a following of dedicated fans while still managing to earn features from the likes of BBC Introducing, Only The Northern One, Wolf in a Suit and many more. Joined live by drummer Bradley Mitchell, their energetic sound rides the crux of the 80s New Wave while bringing in a brand-new tide of ingenuity to the tune of glassy synths and synthesised bass - all serving as the perfect backdrop for Lina’s unmistakable soaring vocal. Influenced by giants like Blondie, Cyndi Lauper and The Police. Lina and the Lions deliver a cross-generational blend of infectious pop that interweaves the styles of past generations into a revitalised neo-pop explosion. Earning them comparisons to modern synth-pop acts like Chvrches, Pale Waves and The 1975.
“If anyone has the commercial potential and visceral force to bring in New Wave 2.0, it’s Lina and the Lions, they’ll set your heart alight with the same effervescent flame as the likes of Kate Bush while laying down modernistically moody synth-led melodies. If you appreciate authentic artists with the ability to simultaneously revive and pioneer; get them on your radar.” Amelia Vandergast, A&R Factory
