One Day As A Lion

HOLY CRAP! Zak de La Rocha Is Back In A BIG BAD WAY! He Has Teamed Up With Former MArs Volta Drummer, Jon Theodore On A Project Called One Day As A Lion And They Are Making The Coolest, Realest, Most Hardcore Music I've Heard In A Long, Long Time... Their EP Comes Out On 7-22. Check It Out.

The band writes:

“One Day As A Lion is both a warning delivered and a promise kept.”

“A defiant affirmation of the possibilities that exist in the space between kick and snare. It’s a sonic reflection of the visceral tension between a picturesque fabricated cultural landscape, and the brutal socioeconomic realities it attempts to mask. One Day As A Lion is a recorded interaction between Zack de la Rocha and Jon Theodore from Los Angeles, California.”

“The name taken from the infamous 1970 black and white, 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.”
