read a great feature on these wacky kids by
Deborah Rees.
Lilygun's music
rains like a shower of petals and bullets. Just like the snow in
Summer.
[Rob Fernish - Opposition T 2008]
Indie meets Grunge complete with powerful vocals makes Diamonds
sparkle.
[2008]
 With
the rock scene a little bare at the moment, and the two extremes
of alternative indie and metal seeming to dominate the live scene,
its rare to find some good old rock, particularly female fronted.
But here we are; from London emerges pure alternative rock band
Lilygun with debut single “Diamonds” - a haunting and
atmospheric track with tinny drums and subtle guitar building suspense
on the intro. The sound builds, complemented by some cool lyrics
“Don’t let your past decide who you are to be”
ending in a final dramatic crescendo of a chorus with a striking
reeling ethnic guitar riff and a satisfyingly weighty distorted
guitar bit.
[Sarah
Rayner - July 2008]
Anna-Christina shows of her vocal prowess through out the song from
the slow starting then building up to the heavier chorus. Intelligent,
thoughtful lyrics do help to make this become a nice song to listen
to you when you are in the need for a bit of mood swinging indie
takes on grunge metal music.
Sounds like Lilygun could easily make a name for themselves and
not just in the capital.

Richardson - June 2008]

While originality is admittedly hard to come by these days, unsigned
London outfit Lilygun have no such problems. 'Diamonds' is five
minutes of densely layered heavy rock that succeeds in breaking
free from the pack without lapsing into indulgent territory.
[Mitch
Bain - June 2008]
 The
new track is a masterpiece and on first listen, plays out like a
rock opera short feature.
They have developed a sound that will appeal
to a wide variety of listeners (Tool - PJ Harvey). We love Lilygun's
glamorous grunge-metal style and can't wait for more from these
amazing and edgy artists.

Grunge-melancholy with some nice harmonies, perfect for those who
paint their bedrooms black!
[Chris
Merriman 2008]
 Lilygun,
fronted by the gorgeous female singer Anna Christina, performed
at the Women In Music festival that ran for 12 hours. Without a
doubt Lilygun put in one of the strongest performances of the day.
Diamonds could well be a breakthrough single for this band.
[Barry
Tomes - Barry Tomes Media Group - Gotham Records 2008]
 Psych-metal-rock
stars Lilygun are worth catching live any day of the week. Dark,
bass-heavy, minor chord-inclined, angst rock.
[2007]
Fronted
by the charismatic Anna-Christina, Lilygun deliver bewitching Rock
etheria.
[2007]
LILYGUN- Frenetic female fronted alterno rock with a frisson of
twisted funk and hardcore.
