City Under Siege, Lion in the Mane

Lion in The Mane is an American Rock band from New York City, NY. Formerly known as The Atlas, the band consists of Jon Masters (lead vocals, guitar, keys), Dmitry Libman (lead guitar and backing vocals), Zach Falkow (bass), Andrew Lynch (guitar, keys, synth and backing vocals) and Johnny Coryn (drums). The band's long time original bassist and founding member Henry D'Allacco left the band after getting married in the Fall of 2013.

The band, which formed in 2009, brilliantly executed the debut of their incredible wall of sound to a sizable passionate audience at The Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York on December 14, 2010. Lion in The Mane's musical style has been described as "building crescendos with dynamic conclusions which indicates the work of experienced musicians with a conscientious attention to songwriting detail" by the media, drawing comparisons to 30 Seconds to Mars, Angels and Airwaves and The Dangerous Summer.

The fervor of their incendiary live show has propelled them to that "my new favorite band" status that has managed to create one of a kind rock anthems with the track "The Way We're Wired".

When the band isn't relentlessly writing and recording each night at their NYC loft studio they can be found touring America and showcasing at CMJ, SXSW, Florida Music Festival and LAUNCH.

LITM's debut EP The Way We're Wired was released independently in August 2011.

2014's "The Noise War" was recorded with Producer Kory Gable at The Looking Glass Recording Studios in North Atlanta, Georgia. The record was mastered at the world famous Gateway Mastering Studios in Portland, Maine by Grammy Winning, Master Engineer Adam Ayan.

"The Noise War" will be released in early 2014.
Upon Jon's arrival he responded to an advertisement for a lead singer posted by New York native bassist Henry D' Allacco (Last Dying Word). After nailing the audition Jon discovered that additional band members were needed. Jon then convinced fellow musician/guitarist Dmitry Libman (Believe You Me, Winter Park, Hillside) to make the move to New York where they, for the past few years, continue to work day jobs while relentlessly writing and recording each night at their NYC loft studio. Other roster changes (Drummer Jason Juliette's departure and the untimely loss of guitarist Joe Calvert) led Jon to contact Florida based drummer extraordinaire Johnny Coryn (Radio Reset) to drop everything and move to the Big Apple.

Originally known as "The Atlas", "Lion in The Mane" brilliantly executed the debut of the band's incredible wall of sound to a sizeable passionate audience at The Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York on December 14, 2010. Word of the band then began to spread to radio as well as major and independent record labels.

The harsh sincerity of the lyrics and vocals, spontaneous yet powerful guitar melodies, a solid, driving, and supportive bass along with the charismatic and flashy chops that roar from the drums put "Lion in The Mane" on the "short list" as they have established themselves as one of today's most promising new bands. With that promise, the band will hit the studio with their producer William Wittman this spring, followed by a summer tour.

Prepare to experience the enormous roar of "Lion in The Mane".
