(The Story of "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 Radio 6 Music 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 "Lifes" 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.

*REVIEWS*
“a beautiful piece of work that deserves our attention” - #IDLES
“this record is indispensable” – DIY (4.5/5)
“tightly wound guitars and lyrical zingers combine for maximum '80s Peel session effect” – MOJO (4/5)
"it's the album the Hull punks deserve" – Upset (4/5)
"a thunderous reminder of why guitar music is mankind's greatest creation" – Dork (4/5)
“One of the only saving graces of the omnishambles of a time we live in is the emergence of bands that have something to be genuinely angry about. Few bands better epitomise that than LIFE
– NARC. Magazine (4.5/5
