"A rock show that gives you a reason to dance," this is what 7LIONS, the new band signed to superstar producer RedOne's label 2101 Records, brings to its fans. This Los Angeles based aggregation reveals a potent merger of rock and hip hop like it's never been done before. The difference between 7LIONS and the pioneers before them is the fusion of the urban hip-hop poetry from their rapper Mika "Prophet" Guillory, the alternative rock influences of their lead singer/guitarist Forrest Fulmer and the electronic/pop/rock production of their keyboardist Morgan Taylor Reid; diverse musical backgrounds that create an explosive, epic sound. A tight knit group, 7LIONS also includes band members Will Carpenter (Lead Guitar/Back-Up Vocals,) Daniel Hange (Bass) and Tony Tommasi (Drums).
