Band of the Week: Livingston
Each week here at High Road, we choose one band or artist that we’re not working with, but we think you should check out anyway!
NAME? LIVINGSTON (via Krod Records)
LISTEN TO their single “Sabotage” on our “Tight Jeans, Tighter Scene” Spotify playlist.
WHAT DO THEY SOUND LIKE? It’s sort of like a modern day U2. Fans of 30 Seconds to Mars and Imagine Dragons will likely dig this band.
WHAT’S THE STORY? “‘Sabotage’ can be seen to be about a forbidden love, having to tear yourself away from it and the chaos that it causes in you. The lyrics are intentionally simple and unintellectual as this kind of inner dialogue normally is, like a mantra or a rehearsal in your head trying to convince yourself to break free from self-sabotaging actions that feels so good but that you know will ultimately end in extreme pain. For the music we wanted to accompany the lyrics firstly with a heartbeat-like pulse then build around that. Then later it’s all about the bipolar contrast between sweet and minacious.! ! Or the song is about a love affair with a life of crime and having to run away from the authorities. You can decide for yourself!”
