BIOGRAPHY

Buffalo, NY – January 29, 2008 – Lemuria is a three-piece indie pop/punk band hailing from Buffalo, NY and will be releasing their first full length, Get Better.

Lemuria is guitarist/vocalist Sheena Ozzella, bassist Jason Draper, and drummer/vocalist Alex Kerns. The band formed in 2004 and in true DIY fashion, self-released several EP’s and 7”s over the past few years. In 2006, they released a split LP with Kind of Like Spitting, which was released on Art of the Underground, a record label/distro run by drummer Alex. They’ve also done a 5-week tour of Europe and generally tour around the States 4-5 months out of the year. This April they are doing a mini tour of Puerto Rico. Seriously…the band has been keeping busy.

Get Better consists of tight melodic punk songs, led by vocals provided from each member, though mostly from Sheena. Their sound has been compared to Superchunk, Discount and Jawbreaker, while their list of influences includes The Lemonheads and Husker Du.

This April, Asian Man Records is proudly releasing Lemuria’s first full-length record. Watch out for a full US tour in May/June!

Previous praise for Lemuria:

Lemuria has finally completed its first full length (previously teasing fans by endlessly touring with only EPs and splits in tow), and it’s oh so satisfying.
- Bust

These D.I.Y. darlings will be on the tip of a lot of people's tongues in the coming year.
- Sky Scraper

You can’t help but smile listening to Lemuria.
- Absolute Punk
