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.
