Life Tour and Music News

LIFE are another band who’ve moved their touring plans entirely into next year.

We’re being asked to adjust to a new normal, and LIFE are asking us to join their new world on August 20th when the band will stream a live show, art project and Q&A multimedia session entitled The Moon Factory.

It’s often guitarist Mark Bowen who’ll be found adding the dirtier edges to Idles‘ sound, and he’s done exactly the same for LIFE on a remix of the band’s recent standalone single Switching On.

LIFE are giving us a nod to ‘where they want to be and where they are going’ on their new single Switching On.

LIFE have announced a headline UK tour for April.

On our Best Albums list, 2019 brought us future classics from Fontaines D.C., Dave, The Murder Capital, FEET, slowthai and black midi to name just a few. Those and plenty more feature too on our favourite tracks of the year.

Picked out by editor David Smith from the hundreds which have featured on these pages during the past twelve months, Sinead O’Brien, Dry Cleaning, Black Country New Road, Kate Tempest and Working Men’s Club are just some who have added to a year which, whilst nostalgia has continued its grip on the mainstream, has quietly created a vintage all of its own.

The second wave of artists heading for Austin and next year’s South By Southwest Festival have been revealed.

LIFE have released an animated video for Excites Me, yet another scintillating cut from this year’s A Picture Of Good Health album.
