Hailing from Long Beach, California, Hearts Like Lions are a Christian alternative rock outfit known for their passionate vocals, ethereal guitar work, and huge soaring melodies. Made up of Stephen Ramos (vocals/guitar), Michael Grasseschi (guitar), Luke Schoepf (bass), and Nick Sturz (drums), the band formed in 2011 and quickly drew attention with their heartfelt compositions focusing on identity, truth, and love. The band began to make waves after they signed to Christian rock label Tooth & Nail in 2014 and released their debut EP, These Hands, in December of that year. The effort garnered rave reviews and Hearts Like Lions quickly gained a devoted fan base. They spent the next couple of years touring with the likes of From Indian Lakes and Hotel Books, with their fans and followers burgeoning rapidly. The quartet returned in 2017 with their first full-length, If I Never Speak Again. ~ Rob Wacey
