As Tall As Lions

by Kenyon Hopkin Rock quartet As Tall as Lions formed in 2002 in Long Island, NY, after its members had been playing in a previous incarnation called Sundaze. The band's original lineup consisted of Daniel Nigro (vocals, guitar, piano), Saen Fitzgerald (guitar), and Clifford Sarcona (drums). After recording the Blood and Aphorisms EP, they soon landed a deal with Triple Crown records and released the Lafcadio LP in Spring 2004, while As Tall as Lions finally settled with good friend Julio Tavarez on bass. The self-titled follow up arrived in August 2006, followed by dates with Sparta and Sound Team.
