Wounded Lion

Biography

Playing brilliantly simple, off-kilter garage pop akin to the Modern Lovers, Los Angeles’ Wounded Lion feature singer/guitarist Brad Eberhard, who is also a fine art painter and used to be an art teacher; drummer Monty Buckles (also of the Lamps); and Shant, Chris, Jun, and Raffi. Eberhard began recording songs into GarageBand in 2008, the same year Wounded Lion debuted with the S-S single "Carol Cloud" b/w "Pony People"; the B-side was covered by the Intelligence on their album Fake Surfers. They returned with the Creatures in the Cave 7" on Gilongo in 2009, and moved to In the Red for that year’s "Friendly?" single, which also featured covers of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Bad Moon Rising” and Wild Man Fischer’s “Big Boots.” Their self-titled full-length debut appeared on In the Red in 2010. Later that year, the band released singles including Relaxation is My Specialty, which appeared on Wounded Lion's second album, 2011's IVXLCDM, also the first to feature Lars Finberg (the Intelligence, A-Frames, Thee Oh Sees) on drums.~ Heather Phares
