Driven by grinding guitars, a powerful rhythm section, and strong melodies, Lean vows to rock with heart and intelligence or die trying. Hot Lava Lucy, Lean's debut CD, was produced by the band and mixed by Karl Derfler (Live, The Verve Pipe, No Doubt, Dave Matthews, Foo Fighters) and Mike Cresswell (Third Eye Blind, Kevin Cadogan, Jerry Cantrell, Mark Eitzel, Oleander), and is available at the band's Website and Amazon.com. Riding the heels of Lucy's success, Lean and Cresswell went back into the recording studio in early 2001 to record a five song EP. The songs on the new disc are decidedly harder edged, but still deeply rooted in the crunchy guitar-pop that defines the Lean sound.
