Uplifting, true and crushing all at the same time, Toronto’s Liferuiner is a full on straight edge attack so hardcore you may walk away from listening to them questioning what you’ve been calling hardcore all along. Comprised of members Jonny OC, Mik Hayward, Dan Tricanico, and Burton Lavery, the band plasters potent, meaningful lyrics onto breakdown laden hardcore passages, with a wonderful twist of melody. If you want a band to blown your mind, but also fill it with passion and inspiration, these guys know how to do exactly that!
Check out Liferuiner’s latest single, “1990” from their “Sons Of Straight Edge” EP up for free download here, and tell me you don’t just LOVE the spoken word introduction just before the overwhelming heaviness that ensues. Not a lot of bands can deliver positivity like these guys and hopefully I just introduced some of you to your new favorite band.
(My discovery of this band wouldn’t have been possible without LakeOntario.Tumblr.Com, so please, go follow this wonderful gal and discover even MORE awesome artists/bands.)
