Band Review: GutterLIFE


This has been a good week to be listening to GutterLIFE. An alternative punk band from Long Island, their songs reflect a distrust of government and an anger that seems more relevant than ever these past few weeks.

The title track on their EP Violent Dischord is probably the most traditionally punk, short and aggressive. Other songs are longer, and it is alternative, with influences hardcore and otherwise, but there is a throughline of working in sound clips on the continuing theme. At first it can distract from the music, but then it becomes part of the music. Those who appreciate the Occupy movements and Anonymous would probably appreciate this.

GutterLife does not have their own Youtube channel at this time, but videos for "Like Cattle" and "R.F.I.D." are available on the channel for their label, We Are Triumphant:


Music can be purchased through iTunes and Amazon, or heard via BandCamp and Spotify.
