Lives

Bracing pop from another of Liverpool's new emerging guitar slingers, LIVES. On first listen it's straight up guitar standards but as the melodies seep in you can't help be bowled over. Yelped, semi-regional vocals; ringing, stop-start, new wave guitars; ridiculously catchy tunes! So, unlike so many other bands that treading the same path, one listen of 'White Lies' and the 'woah oh oh ohs' will be stuck in your head for hours.

Over to NME...

"Liverpool has been something of a breeding ground for promising new bands of late, and Lives are the newest arrivals at the party. Debut tracks 'White Lies' and 'Short Memory' are a blast of adrenaline - big, fast-paced and packed with layer upon layer of instrumentation. Lives are doing their utmost to make sure you sit up and listen."
