Originally formed in 2015, the band truly came together as a unit in 2018 with the release of Cursed the Will to Dream and broke out with the 2019 EP, A Tale of Sudden Love and Unforgettable Heartbreak. After a slew of singles, Life’s Question presented their full-length World Full Of... which put their blend of crushing hardcore meets classic rock riffs on full display. On the upcoming EP, Life’s Question, the band elevated the sound even further for their Flatspot Records debut. While taking inspiration from other genres is nothing out of the ordinary, Life’s Question has created a completely unique sound on their self-titled release. Citing influences from Faith No More, No Warning, Van Halen, and Fats Domino, the band showcase a knack for melody while also giving a tough as nails delivery. Josh Haynes’ gruff vocal approach finds juxtaposition in the lush vocals supplied by guitarist Abby Rhine, shifting tracks like “When I Meet God” and “Something Out There'' to moments of serenity amongst the chaos. Guitars from Abby and Ridge Rhine, and bassist AJ Hoenings, burst through electrifying solos and downtuned grooves. Drummer Nick Barker builds the backbone of the six tracks, leading off intense breakdowns. With producer Jon Markson (Regulate, Jivebomb) at the helm, the entire EP comes through as a seamless yet diverse listen. Spending much of their career on the road, Life’s Question has toured with Drain, One Step Closer, Pain Of Truth, Regulate, and Higher Power. The band’s unrelenting drive and creativity has earned them praise from Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, and No Echo. As Life’s Question heads into the release of their new EP, the band is looking towards a bright and busy future in hardcore and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Svart Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50416190161227,"sku":"2192222","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Clear LP","offer_id":50416190554443,"sku":"2192223","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50416190030155,"sku":"2192219","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_42c2f361_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726697951"},{"product_id":"into-darkness-4","title":"Into Darkness","description":"\u003cp\u003ePerpetually out of print, much sought after, and universally worshipped amongst those in the know, \u003cem\u003eWinter's Into Darkness\u003c\/em\u003e was a game-changing classic.
