The band did a world tour to support the album. A new studio album entitled 'Return of the Pride' was released on March 14, 2008. The band appeared at Rocklahoma in Pryor, OK on Jwith Poison, Ratt, Quiet Riot, Slaughter, Y&T, Gypsy Pistoleros, Dirty Penny, Greg Leon Invasion and Zendozer. This concern for political and social issues was also hinted at in the cover art to their album Big Game, which featured a lion's head hidden in tall grass with the White House in the background. The song 'Little Fighter' was about the Rainbow Warrior, a ship owned by the environmental group Greenpeace that was destroyed by operatives of the French intelligence service. Unlike most bands of their genre, White Lion recorded occasional songs that addressed social or political issues such as apartheid (`Cry for Freedom`) and the effect of divorce on children (`Broken Home`). After the fourth album Mane Attraction, White Lion disbanded in 1992, but was reformed again by Tramp in 1999 with all new musicians. The band continued their success with their third album Big Game. Mainly active in the 1980s and early 1990s, the band achieved double platinum status with their #8 hit 'Wait' and #3 hit 'When the Children Cry' from their second album Pride. White Lion is an American/Danish hard rock/heavy metal band that was formed in New York City in 1983 by Danish vocalist Mike Tramp and American guitarist Vito Bratta.
