As London continues to fall to their unique sound, Lilygun adheres to no rules. A guitar based rock band, Lilygun was formed by Anna-Christina, the songwriter/singer/guitarist. Her unusual combination of classical roots mixed with intense aggression has resulted in an uncompromising and unpredictable Rock that has an edge to it and has been described as a shower of bullets and petals.
Drummer Belle joined the band in 2008 and during 2011 lead guitarist James Ford joined the ranks and the band recorded their debut album due for release in 2012 with the first single 'Scum' released 30/1/12 and the second single 'Moonlight' out at the end of April 2012 both released by Zeff Music.
The name "Lilygun" was just two words thrown together at first but as they progressed, it took on a meaning all on it's own. It's a perfect representation of the many contradictions the band has. Something beautiful inverted into darkness. Aggressive and heavy in parts of the set they play to soft and fragile. All inventive, projected with a sense of glamour and a certain freshness and vibe of their own.
The music is dark and brooding, without falling into the usual Goth stereotypes. Influences seem to range from Glam to grunge and back again, but Lilygun are impossible to pigeonhole - sombre yet striking. [Dom - Live Monto Review] The sound is deeply alternative and sombre and because of this it has a Goth feel to it, but the grunge influences of the likes of Smashing Pumpkins are probably a more fitting assessment. [Sarah Angell - Devolution Magazine] Lilygun's music rains like a shower of petals and bullets. Just like the snow in Summer. [Rob Fernish - Opposition T] Psych-metal-rock stars Lilygun are worth catching live any day of the week. Dark, bass-heavy, minor chord-inclined, angst rock. [Time Out Magazine]
