Introducing: Daddy Lion

I was looking forward to trawling through the likesounds inbox and post bag this week. “Think of all that new music” I thought imagining discovering the next Michael Jackson or Bob Dylan.

I don’t do metaphors well. I looked back another 7 days and found a submission from Daddy Lion which is actually quite good.

Sad, sad news today as it’s been revealed that the fittest identical twins, who are called John & Edward, from Dublin ever have been dropped by their recording company.

As fans witness another disappointing Oasis no-show, behind the scenes there’s “verbal and violent intimidation” aimed at Noel and his family from an untold source.

We were promised a much darker sound, some said dark like Brianstorm, but for me this single is most like the three other songs off the Teddy Picker EP (Nettles, Death Ramps & Bad Woman).

He’s a pretty good looking bloke but a genital exposé clearly wasn’t part of the set list.
