I usually don’t post things like this on here, but my pals in Life In Your Way have reunited. Most of you reading this probably have not heard of them; they are a melodic metalcore band and have been good friends of mine for a while, not to mention they’ve written some of the my favorite aggressive music. They broke up a few years ago after three full albums, some EPs, and almost a decade of being together (which is like 100 years in the metal and hardcore scene), but they decided to get together again and record some new music.
I had the honor of revealing the news on Noisecreep and a lot of people are as excited as I am.
Besides the article I linked, there’s something else writing-related I have with them. I was in the band earlier last decade for a year or so and I remember writing our bio at point point. I wish I still had a record of it — it was one of those band bios that made them out to be much bigger and loftier than they really were. At the time I thought it was just dandy but I’m sure in reality it was too much. Why is everything about our younger selves always embarrassing?
There’s also something else, too: a lot of my experiences in the band and playing music in general served as a general backdrop for a lot of plot elements in A Season Underneath. These are things that you can’t really teach, they’re things you go through — life experiences that just seem to find their way into a writer’s story.
Anyways, here’s to many more years of awesome music ahead.
