This just popped up over at solesides.com : the vocals-included version of an instrumental track that appeared on Shadow's 2006 album The Outsider . Zach screams over the rampaging drums, bass, and scratchy guitar, making it similar to what Zach is doing now with Jon Theodore as One Day As A Lion . There are some keyboards and added noises, but this is a high powered frenzy of a song and unless you're a headbanger you might want to be a little angry when you take a listen . -- [...]
It was ten years ago, almost to the day, when I heard the news on the radio that my two favourite bands in the world were planning to go on tour together and they were making a stop in Toronto. I was at work listening to the radio (cause that's what people did back in 1999) and George Stroumboulopoulos (who was still with CFNY 102.1 back then) announced that The Beastie Boys were planning a tour with Rage Against The Machine in the summer of 2000. The first stop was going to be Toronto on August 2nd 2000 and I'd [...]
I'm pretty confused about as to where RATM stand at the moment: they split up in 2000 only to reunite to tour 7 years later, but pretty much all the members are involved in other projects that are recording albums, only RATM is not recording. One Day As A Lion is made up of frontman Zach De La Rocha of Rage Against The Machine, and former Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore, and their self entitled EP was just released this week (I'm not sure if it's worth the money, but I'll get back [...]
What do you get when you mix one Zach De La Rocha of Rage Against The Machine with The Mars Volta's Jon Theodore? You get One Day As A Lion. While I was never a huge fan of Rage or Mars Volta, I do respect Zach's raps as I appreciate the experimentalism of The Mars Volta. Picking up this EP I didn't really know what to expect, but in retrospect I got exactly what someone would expect from the
Zach De La Rocha from Rage Against the Machine and drummer Jon Theodore from Mars Volta get together and call themselves One Day As a Lion. This is one song off their self-titled, 5 song EP which is pretty dope. I think the highest it got on the charts in the U.S. was 20 something, but for some reason it was number 6 in Norway. Scandinavians love Zach? One Day As A Lion - "Wild International"
Rage Against the Machine (and their fans) have been extra busy this week at the Republic National Convention and doing just like their name said they would: they're "raging" against the "machine." The protests began Tuesday, Sept. 2, when the band attempted to play on the lawn outside of St. Paul's capitol building. Police quickly pulled [...]
CityPages is reporting that Rage Against the Machine were not allowed to play a show by Minneapolis police, after supposed headliners Anti-Flag finished a show at the Republican National Convention and said, "Stay put; shit's gonna get crazy." After the band argued with police and event organizers for 15 minutes, they descended into the crowd. [...]
CSS - "MOVE" I am strangely drawn into this video--most youtube embedded musik vids are only worth 5-20 seconds of ur time. The song is OKAY, but I am pretty drawn into Lovefoxxx's delivery style/what she is wearing. Is she a good singer/does that matter? I feel like this music video should have been an unmemorable late90s video from a foreign band. <3 polaroid vans <3 <3 Friends who u can take zany pix with <3 <3 van crashes with vans full of alt celebs <3 <3 [...]
One Day As A Lion is the long awaited post-Rage Against The Machine project from singer Zach de la Rocha (thought he was Axling on us there for a while). For the EP he is joined by Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore. The 5-song EP is as close to the original Rage Against the Machine as any of that band's members have come. De le Rocha's vocals are the same style of rap metal that still makes RATM unique. Unlike rap metal wannabes that [...]
Apologies for the lack of updates of late, i've been taking a little break from blogging to get excited about it again.

So i'm still alive and so is Music Liberation ! Things will get back into full swing in a couple of weeks or so. For now check out [...]

This is the mix of the two songs together. Video [...]
Oh yes, I had my musical awakening during the 90s. Alternative rock hit me hard around the end of the grunge era, and I was in love with bands that cranked their guitars up to 11 and made music that was as angry and anti-establishment as I was at the time. Naturally, at one point or another I got sucked in by Rage Against the Machine. The incredible guitar stylings of Tom Morello and the fire-spitting lyrics of Zach de la Rocha made for a dynamite combination and produced hits like "Killing in the Name" and "Guerilla Radio." I was [...]

The first single is a track called "Wild International" and is already getting a lot of buzz. Looking [...]
KAREN O REVEALS NEW SIDE-PROJECT Over the weekend our favorite art-punk frontwoman Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs revealed her involvement in a new side project called Native Korean Rock . Here's the announcement from KO from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' blog : " Native Korean Rock is a side project of mine comprised of a body of love songs written over the last two years, to be performed with a motley crew of NYC natives.

If You Fear Dying 5. One Day As a Lion Check out the title track off the album: MP3: One Day As A Lion - One Day As A Lion
So there's been some buzz from the collaboration of Zach De La Rocha(Rage Against The Machine) and Jon Theodore (The Mars Volta) with One Day As Lion. Recently signing to Anti- , they have an EP coming out next Tuesday. They've recently put up a preview track on their myspace called Wild International . It's classic Zach rhymes, but his crunchy organ playing and Theodore's drums are a great lo-fi change from the powerful music of Rage. Don't worry it's still the same intense lyrics and feel we've all come to adore from De La Rocha, [...]
Remember when Sean got all whiny about Zach de la Rocha's new band popping up but not giving away any music? Well, there's no longer a reason to whine. One Day As A Lion posted Wild International the other day. It's about what you would expect — de la Rocha having awesome flow and probably talking about some political event most people have no knowledge of. Overall, it pretty much sounds like Rage Against the Machine with a slightly more electronic twist. Not [...]
"One Day As A Lion is both a warning delivered and a promise kept." If you haven't already heard, One Day As A Lion is Zach de la Rocha of Rage Against The Machine 's side project, accompanied by former The Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore. The terribly-talented twosome recently posted their first track on MySpace. Wild International sees trademark de la Rocha vocals over Theodore's drums and some brutal-sounding synths laid down by de la Rocha. It's damn good and there's an EP [...]
ZACH DE LA ROCHA SIDE PROJECT DEBUTS Zach de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine fame is finally debuting a song from his side project One Day As A Lion with former Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore. Named after the infamous graffiti which read "It's better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb," the band clearly has retained the radical politics of Rage while providing for a more stripped down drum-and-bass aesthetic. The song "Wild International" is [...]
As pleased as we all were with Rage's return to performing (and the fact that I get to see them live twice in one year) we started to get a little antsy for some new material. We still don't have any new Rage tracks, but frontman Zack de la Rocha has teamed up with ex-Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore to form One Day As A Lion . The group's debut EP will be hitting stores on July 22 on Anti. The only song we have to speak of from the group is located on their Myspace [...]
