life

taking aim and swiping hard at the so called ‘alt right’, lead singer Mez Sanders-Green bellows over a cacophony of noise - It’s a blistering, thunderous album that barely leaves room for breath.

A quintessentially punk record in the spirit of Sham 69, opener 'In Your Hands' is indicative of the flavour to come. Anger, restlessness, tension. LIFE are based in Hull, a classic underdog city made good by its new found status as 2017 UK City of Culture. But beneath the cultural progression and media attention there is still fear in the air. It’s this fear that runs through the heart of the band’s debut album, as explained by Mez: “'Popular Music' sounds like panic and anxiety, it's the sound of shitting it about whatever happens next week".
