One Day As A Lion, Sweet Jesus!
Anti have announced the signing of One Day As A Lion a new outfit featuring RATM’s Zack de la Rocha and Jon Theodore ex-drummer of Mars Volta. The band is inspired by, “The infamous 1970 black and white [image], captured by legendary Chicano photographer George Rodriguez featuring a center framed tag on a white wall in an unspecified section of Boyle Heights. It reads: ‘It’s better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb.’ This record is a stripped down attempt to realize this sentiment in sound.”
A self-titled EP has been recorded by Robert Carranza and is scheduled to be released on July 22. Apparently One Day As A Lion represent a “defiant affirmation of the possibilities that exist between the kick and the snare, it’s a sonic reflection of the visceral intensity between a picturesque fabricated cultural landscape, and the brutal socioeconomic realities it tries to mark.” If that manifesto is anything to go by we can expect something impassioned and intelligent.
