About

White Lion is an American glam metal band formed in New York City in 1983 by Danish vocalist Mike Tramp and American guitarist Vito Bratta. The band was primarily active in the 1980s and early 1990s and released their debut album "Fight to Survive" in 1985. They achieved commercial success with the singles "Wait" and "When the Children Cry" from their second album, the double platinum-selling "Pride." Their third album, "Big Game," achieved Gold status, and their fourth album, "Mane Attraction," was supported by a tour. White Lion disbanded in 1991, followed by the release of the compilation album "The Best of White Lion." After unsuccessful attempts to reunite the original lineup, Mike Tramp reformed the band with new members in 1999 and again in 2004. This lineup released a live album in 2005 and the studio album "Return of the Pride" in 2008. In 2023, Tramp revived the band with a series of albums titled "Songs of White Lion," which feature re-recorded versions of classic White Lion tracks. White Lion was formed after Tramp moved from Denmark to Spain and then New York City. He met guitarist Vito Bratta in 1982, and in March 1983 they decided to create a new band. The group went through several rhythm section changes before settling on drummer Nicki Capozzi and bassist Felix Robinson. Managed by L'Amour owners George and Mike Parente, the band signed with Elektra Records in 1984, which later declined to release their debut album. "Fight to Survive" was subsequently released in Japan in 1985 by JVC Records and in the United States by Grand Slamm Records in 1986, charting at number 151 on the Billboard 200.
