Anti- Records has announced the signing of One Day As A Lion, a new group comprised of Zack De La Rocha (Rage Against The Machine on vocals/keyboards and Jon Theodore (ex-the Mars Volta) on drums. The band explains themselves:
"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.

[Our] name [is] 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."
The duo will release their self-titled debut EP on July 22; the tracklisting is below. Unfortunately, while the band does have a MySpace page, there is currently no music available for sampling.

One Day As A Lion EP tracklisting:
1. Wild International
2. Ocean View
3. Last Letter
4. If You Fear Dying
