Eastern Influence Week - Lillies and Remains

Lillies and Remains
Part of Grace

Lillies and Remains are a very new band, releasing their first EP in 2008 and their first album, Part of Grace, in 2009. They're a dark, gothic/post-punk band that sound a bit like Bauhaus crossed with Bloc Party. They are dark, but also energizing in an un-ironic way. They actually have a very positive side to their sound at times and make some really catchy songs. They also sing entirely in English, so they're a good band for those of you who might have a chip on your shoulder over Japanese lyrics.
