Vocals/Guitar : Atom Whitman | Guitar/Keyboard – Matt Matarawan Bass – Reza Rasoli | Drums – Matt Quarnstrom Since the release of their 2005 debut, WE ARE LIONS' music has roared into the ears of youth nationwide and topped the charts of popular websites such as Purevolume.com and Smartpunk.com. The 2005 offering, "Eight Arms Made This" (At One Records) first introduced the band to the music world. Distributed nationwide at Tower Records locations, this record expanded the bands fan base out of Southern California. One review on AllMusic.com compared We Are Lions' musical direction to that of rock greats U2, Radiohead and Coldplay, while sites like Punktastic.com simply stated, "I can see these guys getting picked up at a rather large level, I really can." This positive response helped them grab a spot on the Vans Warped Tour by winning the annual Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands contest. While publications like CAMPUS CIRCLE have featured the band in their L.A.Underground section, there is nothing underground about the music contained on their upcoming release, "You'd Better Believe." Slated for a spring 2007 release, this new disc will find the ears of a much broader audience and make it quite simply, music for the masses. Although you may soon find your brother, neighbor and dog humming the hooks of We Are Lions, the bands creative integrity remains in tact. "You'd Better Believe" was produced by Tim Patalan (Lovedrug, We Are the Fury, Sponge) and packs 11 tracks, ranging from the rock ballad, "Hold On To It" to the catchy upbeat tunes "Bravo Bravo" and "Every Chair I Sit In Is a Rocking Chair." Songs like "Sorry" are pre-destined to become stadium rock anthems, while songs like "Summer Romance" are just that, your next summer's romance soundtrack. Singer Atom Whitman's lyrics are universal. They explore life's many internal perplexities and virtues, delivered in such a way that almost anyone can relate. It has become very apparent that We Are Lions' focus is intent on the careful crafting of songwriting itself, resulting in an entire album of irresistible melodic hooks. Ask any person who goes to a We Are Lions live performance and they will tell you that on stage is where the band truly comes alive. Each member feeds off the music and energy produced under the spotlight. They work as one message, one yell, one revolution; bringing the audience to the front lines. We Are Lions is a band built on a genuine love for music and their songs display a wide span of emotions. It's not uncommon to find to find yourself at a We Are Lions show, in a venue full of fans simultaneously chanting the lyrics "two stabs, to my side, I'm screaming, through this smile, but I'm so happy you're happy." The band was founded in Los Angeles in 2001 by four longtime friends Atom Whitman (vocals/guitar), Matawaran (guitar/keyboard), Reza Rasoli (bass), and Matt Quarnstrom (drums).
