Live LOUD


As you may have heard, our band DEAR LIFE has parted ways with our vocalist, Kevin Castellon. You can read the full press release over at our page. You'll also notice that we are currently writing new music which also needs new vocals. If you are a vocalist and might be interested in giving it a shot, please be sure to contact us!

Anyway, we're really excited to be writing music again. It has been over 2 years since we started recording our debut full length and much longer since we've written new music. It has been a breath of fresh air to say the least. The sound is definitely much more mature, and definitely heavier and more melodic at the same time. With the music industry in the hideous state that it's in right now, we decided to just do what feels right and simply write music that excites us instead of worrying how everyone else feels.

We already feel so jaded with 5 years under our belt as a band, yet we're still so young in our early twenties. Matt is still 19 and we've already come to the point where we're tired of dealing with industry standards and trying to fit in with what's "cool". All we can hope for is that there are still people out there who believe that a song with meaning and feeling is a song well written. People who still believe that there is some sort of substance in music.

I guess we'll find out.


We're actually playing a FREE show this Friday at the Slidebar in Fullerton, CA so if you are 21+ and just want to have a good time, come hang out and rage with us! We'll be mixing it up with some cover songs so you better not miss out on that! We'll also be playing an all ages show on Saturday in Downey, CA at Ignite.
