Artist Review – Rebel Lion (Guam)

Rebel Lion LogoOne of Guam’s hottest reggae bands, Rebel Lion has taken the local radio waves and music scene by storm. With such musical talents as Jon Palau and Chris Unchango, I am truly hoping for an album release in the near future.

So far I’ve heard two outstanding singles released on Guam’s local airwaves. One includes Palau’s acoustic ballad Wishful Thinkin’ and the second is a anti-war statement performed by Unchango entitled Bossman. Both songs can be heard regularly on Guam’s local radio station I94 FM.
