LIONS AND KINGS

As Best of Ottawa's winner of Best New Act and Best Album, Sound of Lions take a look back at 2011

It's said that good things come to those who wait, but Ottawa band Sound of Lions has not had to be patient very long. With only their debut album, 11:44, the five piece of guitarist Will Assaad, drummer Marco Campagna, bassist Joel Soucy, singer Whitney Delion and keyboardist/ turntablist/sampler Christian Awad landed Best Album and Best New Act awards in the Ottawa XPress Best of 2011 poll.

"We're all really surprised, as there was a great list of local bands in competition," says Awad. "It's truly an honour to find ourselves rated by our peers as being in that class. It's also great to see a new project like ours grow legs and start to walk on its own."
