Music You Should Know: As Tall As Lions
’)
High school friends Nathan Kress (vocals, guitar, piano), Saen Fitzgerald (guitar, drums), Brian Fortune (guitar) and Cliff Sarcona (drums) founded the band in December 2001 as they were looking to continue the momentum of a previous project. Saen said, “We felt we were onto something good and despite member lineup changes, we felt we had something worth pursuing.” The band was already at work on the songs “Dancing in the Rearview,” “A Fighting Word,” and “And The Wick Burnt Black” and decided to put together an EP, utilizing these songs, but re-recorded vocals and guitar.

The third full-length album by New York’s As Tall as Lions, You Can’t Take It With You, is a thoughtful, textured tour de force of soundscapes, vocal harmonies, melodies and insightful lyrics about the modern world. The songs’ subject matter faces head-on the politics of God, love, war, and the human condition while examining everyday struggles such as anxiety, isolation, and money.” With You Can’t Take It With You, the band; vocalist-guitarist Dan Nigro, guitarist Saen Fitzgerald, bassist Julio Tavarez and drummer Cliff Sarcona, has made its smartest and most impressive album to date.
