“They mess you up, your mum and your dad, but not sometimes as much as where you’re from.”
“Philip Larkin had spent half his time on earth in Hull when he died there in 1985, but the four respective members of LIFE have been permanent residents, give or take, and that means any messed-upness is turned up to 11.”
“A place with pubs not bars, wall to wall Vape Zones and unforgiving concrete, anybody who’s lived on either side of the river for a while will tell you it’s a straight-talking paradise at below sea level.”
“In 2019, the success of their second album A Picture Of Good Health threatened to take LIFE away from all of that, an attempted kidnap by some rock star shit, but in a predictably Hull way the first global pandemic in over 100 years grounded everyone and, like a perverse boomerang, they hurtled back down the A63.”
