Featuring a myriad of influences, "Roar Lion Roar" is the soundtrack of Saturday night excesses, Sunday soul searching and the workday drudgery of the 9 to 5 job. With Viva Stereo members all in their 30s and dealing with the inevitable pressures of daily life from financial burdens to parenthood, to resisting the feeling that it's time to 'grow up', this album is a celebration of still enjoying love, life, and the occasional allnighter. As part of Fife's celebrated Fence Collective, Viva Stereo have partnered with other Fence artists on their latest release. Malcolm Middleton lends his voice on "The Seaward", Chris Deveney of My Latest Novel features on "Last Living Hope", and Candythief of the Fence Collective features on the vocals of "This is Not An Exit". Another Fence Collective member, Onthefly, co-wrote "Pariah State", and King Creosote added accordion to "Teenage Dreams".
