Lionize release & tour news

Lionize are pleased to announce the release of their brand new EP, “The Voyage”, on 13^th May 2016. To support the release of “The Voyage”, Lionize will embark on a full UK tour, both headlining dates, supporting Less Than Jake and also an appearance at Desertfest in London on 29^th April.

The release of “The Voyage” is part of a wider project that sees the band celebrating their 10^th anniversary with a renewed sense of purpose, taking the cue from their predecessors who made their own rules when it comes to recording and getting their music to their fans. After the first 4 singles were released in the fall and winter of 2015, early 2016 will see a series of 4 EP’s released that lead up to the next full-length album from the band, tying everything together. Almost every month new material will be made available world wide and distributed directly from the band, physically and digitally.

Drawing on influences as varied as Bad Brains, Deep Purple, Parliament and Funkadelic, the band finds itself in new musical territory, ringing in endless possibilities for the future. From the infectious melodies of the opener “Anacostia” and the huge tectonic riffs of “Take It To The Road” to the classic groove-oriented “Cold Nelson”, this record presents a soundscape that will leave the fans chomping at the bit for the next installment.

Lionize will support this release with a full UK Tour and will appear at this year Desert Fest.
