Originally forming
in early '90s New Jersey, the legendary Lifetime had the
dubious honor of watching most of its peers fade out or fall
off. Rather than wallowing in nostalgia, like fellow celebrated
Jersey musicians, the band became its own Boss, reinventing
its sound, leaving a hardcore-by-the-rules scene to decide
for itself. That many since have decided to further explore
Lifetime's blueprint has proven something to be thankful
for, although few compare to the real thing.
Allowing the emotional cracks of its early days to fuel
the passionately crafted classics of its later period, Lifetime
draws from a tradition of melodic rockers ever committed
to maintaining the bite of punk's explosive side, from Husker
Du to Pinhead Gunpowder.
After disbanding in 1997, Lifetime reunited for three shows
in the Jersey area in August of 2005. Shortly after, the
band announced their reformation. After three California
shows and an appearance at SXSW, Lifetime joined the Decaydance/Fueled
By Ramen family.
