This House Has Lions

This House Has Lions is a band that defies the boundaries of genre, seamlessly blending the raw energy of classic punk rock with the sophistication and spontaneity of modern jazz. The group was born from a shared passion for both worlds by bassist Jason Malmberg and guitarist Matt Fuller, who met while performing as jazz musicians. Both Jason and Matt grew up deeply entrenched in the skate punk culture of the late 80s and early 90s, and their love for punk rock naturally intertwined with their passion for jazz, leading them to explore a fusion of these two influential genres.
