LIFE - Grown Up (SINGLE REVIEW)



Arriving on the wave of new generation, punk inspired, UK bands that not only entertain but inform, LIFE have taken their place alongside IDLES and shame, with a reputation for high energy live shows and rebel rousing bangers.  They are a band with something to say, and they want you to hear it.







LIFE are the sound of The Fall tumbling down a flight stairs, only to pull off a perfect somersault and land on their feet.  That acrobatic manoeuvre is ‘Grown Up’, their new single which demands attention.  It’s a release that upholds the “megaphone in your face approach”, as put to work on their album ‘Popular Music’.  Unlike their debut record, LIFE now take a leap into krautrock to make their point.  It’s strong evidence the Hull punks intend to push forwards without losing any of their fire.  LIFE are a band for the moment, and troublemakers worth getting behind.
