7Lions' Born 2 Run EP is a five song sampler from one of the coolest bands to come out of southern California in a long time. I can best describe them as a mix between Linkin Park and Paper Tongues. The group's MC, Prophet and their vocalist, Forrest Fulmer make a terrific mishmash of styles and the overall production that the group uses is amazing.
This EP is highlighted by the band's main single, "Born 2 Run." The song is an adrenaline jumpstart from the get-go and it's an amazing track. "One Man Symphony" is a drum-powered primal track that has a similar effect as the title song. "Emergency" is a crazy up-and-down piece that takes you on a tremendous journey. "Taking Over" is a song that takes things back to the primal drums and has a great chorus. And finally, "One More Time" shows a whole different side of these guys that we might get to hear when a full album gets released. It's an uplifting version of a rock-mix power ballad.
7Lions is a group that you need to check out now. The band's songs are perfect for TV-licensing, especially for sporting events, so you're bound to hear them sooner or later. This EP is terrific, and there aren't very many five song EPs that will get anybody going as much as this one does.
