Album Notes

Lionize started when four high school friends in
Maryland got together to have fun in their parent’s
basement with the goal of picking up girls by
performing music. Drawing on their mutual love of
reggae acts like Steel Pulse, Bob Marley, Toots and
Capleton and rock groups like The Police, The
Beatles, Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath, the band
sought out to create a new sound in reggae and a
new sound in rock.

After a year of performing regionally to their
expanding fan base, they sold their first 1000 home
printed CDs out of the back of their cars, attracting the
attention of promoters and international touring artists.
They soon found themselves sharing the stage with
reggae legends such as Steel Pulse, The Wailers,
Israel Vibration and Yellow Man in addition to rock headliners such as Hoobastank and Flogging Molly.
Lionize continued to tour relentlessly, playing more than 250 dates
over two years and selling another 2000 copies of their subsequent
album Danger My Dear.
Barely in their 20s, their work began garnering the attention of
producers and musicians living in their area. With their follow-up EP
Mummies Wrapped in Money (2006), they enlisted the aid of
producer/engineer Scott Spelbring whose resume includes Jason
Mraz, Dave Matthews Band, OAR and Linkin Park among others.
Neil Fallon, the lead singer for Clutch, also lent his vocal talents to the
title track.

Building a strong regional presence among fans, promoters and
musicians alike, Lionize are continuing to excite the masses through
their dynamic live performances at clubs, colleges and festivals. They are also currently working on
finishing their first full length album.
Regardless of the band’s success and great improvements musically, they all remain single.
