Editor's note

Young Lions, an Illinois rock band still on the road.

A band from Aurora that found a wider audience after their song 'Forever III' landed in a film.

For a sense of their sound, 'Forever III' is the early touchstone, but 'Anxiety' from their later work feels just as representative. Both have that earnest, driving quality they've never really lost.

They've been a steady presence in the scene for over two decades, from that early film placement to a 2022 anniversary show at Red Rocks. Songs like 'Anxiety' and 'Blood And Water' carry the kind of direct, guitar-driven weight that's kept their audience coming back. It's a catalog built on persistence more than flash.

They formed in 2002 and got a boost when 'Forever III' was used in a film around 2006, leading to their debut 'The Revelation' the next year. After a bassist change in 2008, they kept releasing albums like 'The Great Divide' and 'The Road Less Traveled' through the 2010s. The original core of LaRoche and Cento is still there, playing shows with the same lineup for years now.
