Instead of Lions consists of Mattias Jones Johansson (guitars) och Rikard Frejgrim (vocals, bass guitars), both former members of the band Naked. They have recently released a single with three songs, which is, from what I can see, their first official release.

Anyhow it’s about three beautifully built songs, with melodies and hooks that stick, all set in a nice rock sound. Rikard Frejgrim’s voice reminds me somewhat of Ric Ocasec’s, also in the way he sings, which gives the songs an extra, special flavour.
