BAND RADAR: LIFE IN FILM
The latest band to drop onto the discosalt band radar is London pop-rock maestros, Life In Film. They’ve been making a name for themselves in the UK spreading their infectious energy, jangly Smith-like riffs and resolute belief that they are poised to become the soundtrack of conviction for a disenfranchised Britain (and hopefully the good ol US of A), arousing a generation already alienated by a rampant social war declared by David Cameron’s corrupt coalition.
Wearing influences and channeling attitude from The Smiths and Joy Division through to The Strokes, they exhibit an infectious immediacy presented with genuine ingenuity, and their melodic mercurial urban anthems show hints of stylish Americana, dragging the heart’s emotions from worn, torn to splendid, all firmly rooted in a UK soil still piss-stained by the explosion of punk and New Wave.
