One Day As A Lion (sick site) is a musical project by Rage’s Zach de la Rocha and The Mars Volta’s Jon Theodore. Hard hitting drums and def lyrics mean anyone who likes either of those bands will dig this sound. The EP is out and it does not disappoint. From the site:

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. its a sonic reflection of the visceral tension between a picturesque fabricated cultural landscape, and the brutal socioeconomic realities it attempts to mask.
…
the name 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 that sentiment in sound.
