Now in the their fourteenth year Dreadzone have been around long enough to know the value of a good tune, especially in the football world with their highly acclaimed ‘Little Britain’ single being used for numerous sports programmes, most notably for three years as the theme from the Nationwide Football league. Now with the World Cup looming and England's chances look to be the best in forty years a lot of people are scratching their heads wondering where the song is, our real 21st century footy anthem that represents the team and country to lift the spirits. To compete against teams like Brazil we need rhythm. We need fat bass and beats to get the adrenalin pumping. We need hooks to sing when our hearts are bursting. We need to 'Put on a Lion Shirt'... Based on a cut from the fifth album ‘Once Upon A Time’ released in 2005 called ‘Iron Shirt’ which samples the classic Max Romeo track ‘I chase the devil’ Dreadzone's 'Lion Shirt' is looking to lead the way and beat all competition for the World Cup song of 2006 ..with a skanking breakbeat jump-up alternative anthem for England that has all the hooks you need! cheering fans, airhorns, big choruses, uplifting melodies and ‘Little Britain’ brass. Feelgood, celebratory and ‘inspirational, ‘Lion Shirt’ is a totally cheese free song that is credible, anthemic and worthy of the players. A preview on myspace.com/gregdread has registered over 4000 plays after only four weeks . The track was played at Anfield at the last game of the season at half time and found its way onto the screens of Match Day Media at all the major grounds the same day as their theme to an England Supporters feature . With press, TV, Radio and the internet being notified at every possible opportunity and with the buzz increasing every day this is a campaign worthy of your support. Already a sureplayer tune of the week in DJ Mag this is the one football tune that has got the tastemakers talking. The vinyl release sees West London beatmasters the Drum Monkey’s supplying a fat club mix that will be seeing a lot of floor action along with the Dread instrumental that will prove useful way after the footy has ended . The CD release also contains a Radio Edit to complete the picture. Spread the word, tell your friends, sing the chorus and dance in the street ... Wake the town and tell the people. This version is set to rule the nation.
