Rock Press
"When London based alt rock band Lilygun released their much anticipated second album Strength & Grace back in July 2017, the limited edition release sold out in six days. An unlikely prediction considering this band has not performed live in recent years! Perhaps this was the result of a new found online energy Lilygun have managed to generate, thanks to a number of impressive music videos and stunning photographs of lead singer/songwriter Anna-Christina!"

Strength & Grace limited edition gatefold CD
When this album first came out, it sold out so quickly, we didn't have time to show you how special the packaging was and to tell you there's a hidden booklet inside!
We didn't want to mass produce CDs because we wanted to give our fans something which they knew was special. The first edition of this album is gone. This second series is also a limited edition. We kept the design the same but we switched the covers around so this time, the black side is now the cover and it has a black spine. If you'd like a piece of Lilygun history, head over to our Shop and grab yourself a copy of the album before this new batch sells out too! ~ACx

And if you do dare to be different... be prepared for the less than pleasant opinions of others!
Not everyone will understand you.
Not everyone will appreciate your uniqueness.
It's ok, you are not alone...
Forget their opinions and their need to spread more negativity in this world.
Do what you do with a true heart and don't give up.
I'm always saying let your light shine in dark places and out into the world. Sometimes you have to let the light from your heart shine comfort on you. ~ACx

Strength & Grace Album Reissue Cover
The cover for Strength & Grace was designed with two faces. For the first edition, the cover was the white side. For this reissued edition, the black side is now the cover. This makes both versions of the album special.

Word On The Street
Here's a quick round up from Lilygun of news in the Lilygun Blog.
Lilygun was once hailed as the next big British rock band and although we’ve won the hearts of critics and fans around the world, the music industry wants bands they know how to market. I was told my image isn’t appealing and my attitude is wrong, just because I'm different and unafraid to be so. I now know, that many would beg to differ!
~ Anna-Christina ♥
From the beginning, I had a vision and I'm very proud of the fact that I didn’t conform to anyone else's expectations or opinions or let the many previous band members of Lilygun ruin my spirit. I've built Lilygun's world on my terms and no one tells me what to do! Lilygun was once a band of hell for me but now, I’m doing what I love with the best, kindest musicians I’ve ever met, who just so happen to be my dearest friends.
I am here for the outcasts, the rejects, the weirdos, the beautiful freaks and the people who feel they don't fit in. I am here to tell you, love being who you are and don't change for anyone because you are amazing just as you are! To other bands out there, be careful when people tell you their opinions because "they" are not always right and those same people will come back years later and tell you, they were wrong! Dare to be different.

Fancy writing your own review of Lilygun's album?
Here's something we were sent that may interest you...
Subba-Cultcha.com works slightly differently to other music reviews sites whereby we don’t have an editorial team, all our reviews are written by fans. So we'd love to feature fan reviews of the new album, the more the merrier! All fans need to do is head to Subba-Cultcha, login and write their reviews. We feature all reviews (after vetting) and they feature on our homepage and your Subba-Cultcha.com profile page which we'll create once the reviews start to get submitted.
No one knows us better than our friends and fans! Anyone fancy having a go?
