"Reality Check" is the first single from the album. It's a showcase ofLIONIZE's precise musicianship, smoothly shifting through the gears and coming out the back end at an exhilarating pace. Its gargantuan hook comes at you with an unexpected velocity.  The lyric video for the first single fromJetpack Soundtrack, created by Agent Ogden (Clutch-Live at the 9:30 DVD/ Full Fathom Five DVD) can be viewed at www.lionizemusic.com.  The single is also available to stream via soundcloud at www.lionizemusic.com

Frontman Nate Bergman spoke on the "State of the Union" of LIONIZE:

"Coming into 2014 is the most exciting point in our careers. We are getting ready to release a record called Jetpack Soundtrack that we've labored over for more than a year - and the results are better than we could have expected. We wear the Weathermaker name with a great sense of pride, and we look forward to taking the album and name all over the globe and performing for fans. There's a level of confidence that comes with being on Clutch's label - they are simply the best rock band on the planet and are the most supportive group to team up with. Aside from the album being fantastic, we are starting the year off with an incredible tour with headlining dates leading up to a tour with Pepper. They are great dudes and the shows will be immensely fun."  

The Maryland-based band formed in 2004, learning to play music by jamming and listening - really listening - to each other. But now, ten years later, the band has matured into a much more powerful, tight unit. LIONIZE still hammer out most songs in the studio and rehearsal room from the basic spark of an idea.Jetpack Soundtrack, their fifth album and first for the Weathermaker Music label, is no different.
