UK rock act LiVES is preparing to make waves with their upcoming album “Let Them Eat Cake”, set to release on October 25th. Produced by the legendary John Cornfield, who has worked with icons like Muse and Oasis, this album promises to be a heavy-hitting dose of indie rock filled with sharp riffs, amazing drums and aggressive, raw energy.
The lead single, “Cancelled” offers a taste of what’s to come and it’s truly something special. From the very first moment, the track hits hard. The vocals are loud and add a powerful and captivating presence that elevates the song to another level. The instrumentation is equally impressive with tight guitar work, solid bass lines and drumming that leaves a lasting impression. The overall production is polished yet maintains a unique atmosphere that’s both memorable and energetic.
The band songwriter Peter Chisholm confronts the harsh realities of modern society with biting, confrontational lyrics. Topics like the internet, politics, and the media are tackled head-on with an aggressive, no-nonsense approach. The album is loud, rebellious and designed to resonate with those who feel disconnected from mainstream society.
From what we’ve heard so far, “Let Them Eat Cake” seems poised to be an explosive release with “Cancelled” already giving fans a reason to hit repeat. This band knows how to deliver powerful music with a message and the full album is sure to be even more impactful. If you’re looking for something that’s both visceral and thought-provoking, this is an album to look out for.
Our personal take? LiVES has a special energy that feels both raw and refined at the same time. “Cancelled” stuck with us long after the first listen and if the rest of the album is anything like this, we will definitely be a go-to for indie rock fans who want something with bite. Don’t miss out on their live show tomorrow at The Six Six Bar in Cambridge, t’s bound to be a powerful performance!
