Victoria, BC’s Acres of Lions spent much of 2012 on the road. It seemed like they played almost every city, town, village and trading post in British Columbia. They went East and they went further East to England. Finally, when the last tour t-shirt was sold and and end was insight, they holed up in a HoJo in Toronto (with a POOL!) and buried themselves in a studio to record.
The new record will be called Home(s). The ‘s’ in the parentheses maybe speaks to the nomadic life of these guys. They have homes where they’re from, homes where they live now (kinda… Victoria) and then all the friends they have on the warpath across Canada and now in England.
Our first feature cut off the album is called “Bright Light.” The song has singer Jeff Kalesnikoff reflecting on his youth that launches into an anthemic chorus. As the title implies, musically the song is very bright and propulsive.

Acres will be celebrating their album release with us here in Victoria on Friday, March 29th at Lucky Bar. Industry friends can look for them at CMW in Toronto! The rest of Canada can find your city on this LIST.
Go with yourself.
