BIO:
Everybody’s got a story. A thread of words weaving its way through their heads, spinning the tale of where they’ve been, what they’ve seen. For some, the story is secret. We hold it in, pretend like we don’t hear it. Most of us don’t even know it’s there. It takes something special, something unexpected to get inside us and start unraveling.
That’s the beauty of Lifestory: Monologue.
Honest, aggressive, and unrestrained, Lifestory’s music defies the boundaries of post-hardcore. Forget what you’ve heard about other “unique” bands. Their brand of gritty art-rock fuses spoken word with something like screamo in a complex mix that’s strange at first, but hard to ignore after.
Based out of Guelph, Ontario, the six members were raised on the music Thrice, Thursday and mewithoutYou. Their passion on stage has earned them gigs with the likes of Fucked Up, Attack in Black, The Reason, and Living With Lions and helped them stand out at major industry showcases like Canadian Music Week, S.C.E.N.E. Fest and Cornerstone Festival.
Vocalist, Richard Nuttall’s passionate and heartfelt lyrics fit naturally with the musically diverse compositions of the whole band. Writing as a collective and not it’s individual members, Lifestory has a knack for using their playful attitudes, passion for music and love for each other to create music compatible with a wide range of listeners – often converting an audience of skeptics into new fans.
Their new album, Drag Your White Fur — Make it Grey is sure to fuel that frenzy. Produced by Kenny Bridges of Moneen the album exposes an older, wiser group, who still have the creativity to catch you completely off-guard. A preliminary EP from the same sessions with Bridges, The Thornberry EP was digitally released for a free download at the start of Summer 2011 to reward old fans and entice new ones during the summer touring months.
Lifestory: Monologue’s sound is one that gets inside you and makes you think; makes you remember. Consider it the soundtrack to your story.
