Byron-based Lionheir (aka Paul Appelkamp) enjoys the loose horns and twanging guitar riffs of ’50s rhythm and blues. His voice is happy and carefree – a light-hearted version of Josh Pyke, maybe, or a less animated version of Jack Peñate. Lionheir might swing a little more than his contemporaries, but the general aesthetic is similar; a nice, harmless boy singing a nice, harmless song.
