British Lions were a short-lived British rock band, together from 1977 to 1979, with former members of Mott and Medicine Head. They toured Britain extensively, as support to Status Quo, whose management they shared, and AC/DC, but were more successful in America. They released two studio albums with little commercial success in the UK. Their second album was rejected by RSO and then by Vertigo, and they disbanded in 1979. The release rights were acquired by Cherry Red, who released it the following year. Their debut album was reissued in 2023 by Think Like A Key Music.
British Lions is the 1978 debut album by British Lions, the band consisting mainly of members of Mott-Morgan Fisher, Ray Major, Pete Overend Watts and Dale Griffin-alongside singer/guitarist John Fiddler, previously of Medicine Head.
