Title: The living end Post by: St_Jimmyuk on March 16, 2006, 07:39:09 PM i thought id start this topic on the austrailian band the living end. Personally i love their stuff, although their latest album is a little dissapointing
info can be found here at www.thelivingend.com apparently they are austrailias biggest band or something (of the now obviously ac/dc are bigger in history) they first got found by greenday and have toured with both them blink 182 and offspring and numerous other bands they even toured with acdc i believe anyway a lot of people havn't heard of them in the uk (not sure about the us) so post your views Title: Re: The living end Post by: metallex78 on March 16, 2006, 08:23:37 PM Yep, kickass Aussie band. I haven't heard the new album, but their first album kicks ass (check out Prisoner Of Society) and they are great live.
To me they sound a bit like a rockabilly Green Day with some great guitar solos. :beer: Title: Re: The living end Post by: badapple81 on March 17, 2006, 10:54:34 PM They are kick ass!
Their self titled album (with Save The Day, Second Solution etc) was really big when I was finishing High School.. it was a really cool fresh new sound. They actually sent their demo tape and a t-shirt to Green Day to try and get the support act for their tour.. and they got it! My fave album to date is the follow up, Roll On.

Roll On's my fav.!!! Title: Re: The living end Post by: Gordi on March 19, 2006, 01:59:23 AM I saw them at this years Big Day Out and they were great. I heard this new album is the best since thier debut.
Title: Re: The living end Post by: badapple81 on March 19, 2006, 02:04:55 AM I haven't heard it, only the song 'Wake Up' which is very different to their usual stuff.. cool track.
Title: Re: The living end Post by: Gordi on March 19, 2006, 02:06:58 AM Yeah I haven't heard the full thing, just what I've heard them play live I really liked. And I'm really into the 2 new singles 'Wake Up' and 'What's On Your Radio' I've just been told that this album is really good.
Title: Re: The living end Post by: St_Jimmyuk on March 19, 2006, 02:56:52 PM new album sound is quite different to all their other stuff
i like their older stuff much more, i wish they would do a full uk tour they only play like 1 date and that was ages ago Title: Re: The living end Post by: ClintroN on March 20, 2006, 12:32:03 AM have you's heard there cover of Tainted Love, its fkn good man!! :peace: :beer: :smoking:
Title: Re: The living end Post by: St_Jimmyuk on March 20, 2006, 05:06:51 AM yeah ive heard almost everything the have recorded and most stuff they randomly pulled out live including a christmas song they did with kylie monogue
Title: Re: The living end Post by: Tomorrows on May 24, 2006, 04:21:48 AM Fuck yeah, I think their debut came out in like 98 (?). I remember it was massive when I was in year 7 at school - one of the (few) great Aussie rock records.
Title: Re: The living end Post by: St_Jimmyuk on May 24, 2006, 05:15:26 AM yeah they released it in 1997 and again in 1998 then their next came out in 2000, 2003, 2006
