British Lion, which was started in 2012 by Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris, mixes vintage British rock with melodic hard rock. Harris worked with Richard Taylor (vocals), David Hawkins (keyboards, guitar), and Simon Dawson (drums) to write songs that weren't for Iron Maiden. Early shows in London and the UK got them noticed, and their self-titled first album British Lion (2012) showed off Harris's ability to write songs in several styles and Taylor's powerful voice.
The band went on tour in Europe and North America, playing at famous places and festivals including Download Festival. People liked songs like "The Burning" and "Spit Fire" because they mixed strong chords with catchy choruses. People praised Harris for being able to write great music songs outside of his famous metal background, which drew followers from both Iron Maiden and other rock bands.
British Lion is still on tour and working on new music. They play a mix of classic and modern rock on stage. Their live shows have tight instrumentation, passionate singing, and interaction with the audience, which gives fans a one-of-a-kind rock experience.
