ABOUT

Born of two fervent wavelengths, Lion’s Mouth is the brainchild of Chelsea Z. and Sara Wexler. Deceptively lush for a two piece band, Lion’s Mouth produces a fierce wall of sound, at times gentle and haunting but more often racing through hairpin turns and writhing with emotion. Swift, driving beats burst from Sara’s sticks hitting you like a well-timed punch. As you lie breathless on the floor, Chelsea’s “amazingly sweet voice” (105.5 TripleM) and “five-piece orchestra” (Music Without Boundaries) guitar work pull you back up to your feet. What happens next is a dynamic, rhythmic winding of explosive drums, cascading guitar, and heartbreaking melodies all teetering on the edge of razor-sharp words. With all the sensibilities of pop, the relentless energy of punk, and the heart and soul of folk, Lion’s Mouth gives indescribable a sound.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT RAW

MAKES MY WORLD GO ROUND

We love music, climbing trees, walking, and tofu-cream cheese bagels. Sara plays in two cooler bands: Croaker and Soundless. Sara loves martial arts. Chelsea plays lots of Tetris.
