Below |
Day in Rock reports: Living Things are preparing
to release "Bombs Below," the next single from their full length debut
Ahead of the Lions. But we've been given a preview so you can hear it right
now.
About Living Things: It is a band of brothers:
Lillian, Eve and Bosh Berlin. Born and raised in the socially conservative
St. Louis suburbs, they've been playing together since their hands were
big enough to hold instruments, which gives their angst-ridden roar an
organic relentlessness. You can get bombed at the full story link.-
