Led by brothers Mez Sanders-Green (vocals) and Mick Sanders (guitar), UK four-piece LIFE make snarling, gleefully hyper punk with a pop sensibility and a heap of attitude. Their second album, “A Picture of Good Health”, was released last fall and is recommended to fans of McLusky, Fontaines DC and IDLES (with whom they’ll be on tour in the UK in April). Known for their fiery live shows, Music video by Life performing “Bum Hour” . Life are at the crest of the current wave of UK guitar music alongside other scene champions . they channel bands such as The Fall, Blur and Parquet Courts. Their focus on community and witty, off-centre social commentary underscores everything they do. The band hail from Hull in England’s North East. Energetic frontman Mez jumps and dances around the stage with a death glare like Jarvis Cocker making love to Frank Sidebottom and the Sultans of Ping.

The new album is more personal, about mental health and inner turmoil. I think all of us had a breakdown at some point while making it” – Mez, Life.
Hull’s post-punk absurdist polemics LIFE made quite an impact with their DIY debut album. 2017’s Popular Music was championed by BBC 6Music’s Steve Lamacq and won firm fans (and friends) in fellow post-punkers Idles. Most unexpectedly, Popular Music even ended up in BBC Radio 1 Albums Of The Year list, where Life’s gnarly, Humberside riffs and scattergun wordplay kept unlikely – but deserved – company with the likes of Jay-Z, Skepta, the xx and Wolf Alice. Two years on, their eagerly awaited, dryly-titled second album, A Picture Of Good Health, ups the ante musically and lyrically.
