 "It’s clear this ain’t your ordinary rock record. Lionize push boundaries, pacing their songs with precision... once they let their songs seep into [your] psyche, it will be tricky to get their sharp hooks out."

-Alternative Press

"Lionize’s crafty musicianship unveils how dedicated they actually are to their music... Lionize has released another solid album that rocks both heavily and steadily."

-The Pier

Genre-bending reggae/rock band Lionize are releasing Superczar and The Vulture, their fifth album, and first on the Pentimento Music Company label today (12/6/11), with distribution by Redeye.  The release sees Lionize heading back to Magpie Cage Recording Studio (Against Me!, The Promise Ring, Murder By Death) to record with the legendary J. Robbins.  On it, they weave together 70s-influenced heavy psych rock riffs with reggae grooves and deeply soulful vocals.  The record can be ordered at http://riscstore.com

Superczar and The Vulture is currently streaming exclusively in full at Re-Write The Scene and can be heard here: http://rewritethescene.com/rts-exclusive-album-stream-lionize-superczar-and-the-vulture/
