Jah See And Know

Donette Forte Urban Lions play Rhythm Of Resistance live at Irie Vibes Roots Festival, Handzame, Belgium. July 2015

Rhythm Of Resistance Irie Vibes.MP3

This is a live recording from one of our practice sessions in The Lion's Den. We will take over a studio soon and record this track properly along with a few others to make an EP.

I Am A Lion

This is our homage to Jackie Mittoo and to the refugees of the world. We originally set out to cover Jackie Mittoo's 'Drum Song'. Weused the infectious bassline, put our own words to the track and Lionised it.

This was recorded live in practice so there are no fancy productions here just raw, solid reggae music.

I hope we've done it some justice.

Urban Lions are an eight piece band from England currently rising up through the underground UK roots and dub scene and out onto the world stage. 

With the recent addition of a full horn section, Urban Lions have created a sound of their own, resonating a positive vibration by fusing styles old and new and pressing their own unmistakable stamp on our musical roots.

After touring the UK and Europe, having headlined some of the most outstanding venues and festivals up and down this country and overseas, playing One Love, Boomtown, Illusive, The Reggae Garden and Irie Vibes Festivals, drawing crowds far and wide from Hootananny in Brixton and The Purple Turtle in Reading to The Picturedrome in Northampton, with UK roots reggae pioneer Donette Forte, Urban Lions have carved their own groove on the circuit with a feisty fusion of bashment roots, dub, ska, dancehall, jungle, funk, balkan beat, skanking rhythms and conscious rhymes. 

Urban Lions have secured a record deal with Amsterdam based label 'Earth Works Records' and released their debut EP 'Urban Lions In Amsterdam', a live and direct six track offering, available in over 200 stores worldwide including iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon, Deezer, Tidal, YouTube, Microsoft Groove, & Medianet.

This year is set to be a fruitful year for Urban Lions as they go back into the studio to record a series of singles before touring the festival and  venue circuit. Look out for some very special artist collaborations along the way.
