ONE DAY AS A LION

One Day As A Lion is a new project featuring former Rage Against The Machine and Inside Out frontman Zach de la Rocha and former Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore. A few songs have been posted on their website and their Myspace page. Fans of RATM will not be disappointed... So far it sounds like a stripped down version of Rage. An EP is available now on Epitaph/Anti.


“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.”
