Hear the song below:
British Lion was a band produced by Harris, which turned it into a personal project. The first album, from the same name, was released in 2012.
About the work, Harris had commented:
I want to make it very clear – this is not just a Steve Harris solo album … It’s much more than that. Eventually I would like it to become a real band and I want to think that we will not stay here. I would love to play these songs live. It would be a great pleasure for me. For a long, long time I have not played in smaller clubs, and every now and then I miss it. Sometimes I miss the atmosphere that comes from being in people’s faces … With Iron Maiden, this is something we have not been able to do for many years. ”
In addition to Harris, the project features vocalist Richard Taylor, David Hawkins on guitar and keyboard, Grahame Leslie and Barry Fitzgibbon on guitar, and drummers Ian Roberts, Simon Dawson and Richard Cook.
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
