The Lions

Defining a genre
Who we are
"I'd rather live one day a lion than a thousand days a lamb"
First Day Lions are a re-groundbreaking 5 piece indie-rock band with founders and childhood best friends Adrian Rabbitte & Adam Cunningham at the helm.
Inspired by The Beatles, Queen and Pink Floyd, the Lions "capture their stories and tell them in fresh yet nostalgic ways, coming on like a new and intoxicating force on the indie scene" - Hot Press Magazine.
"We want to make music. We want to tell stories. And we want to take the listener on a journey they haven't been on before." - First Day Lions. The list of achievements continue to grow for the Lions. From supporting Irish music industry legends like Aslan and Paddy Casey, featuring on RTE's 'Radio 1 Recommends', to several electric write ups by Hot Press Magazine and growing a fast and amazing fan-base in their homeland of Ireland and across the globe.
On Nov 1st of 2019 the Lions released their debut album TIME. Recognised and celebrated by music industry names across the country, and landing into the paws of Pride members around the world, TIME continues to receive acclaim and traction, propelling the Lions even further into the forefront of the music scene.
2020 will be the year of the Lion, followed by the decade of the Lion. Come join the Pride!
Peace & Love.
