Back when I joined the Hardcore band I play in now some 2 years ago, everyone in the group told me to start listening to Modern Life is War. My boy Styles P let me borrows his copies of M.L.I.W.'s three CDs, which included My Love. My Way. I saved them on the the C drive of my old computer but had to erase the memory after getting a virus; the event gave new meaning to the words 'dirty porn'.
Listening to them again is really refreshing. In retrospect I see this group as the biggest influence on our sound then and now. If you are up to date with the blog and have read along with the suggested songs, you will notice one unifying trait among them: music with a message. Often that message is incredibly positive (except for that Defeater song - WTF) and empowering, which is really what drew me into the music in the first place. In a time when we could all use a little encouragement, Modern Life is War is a band that answers the call.
I found one of my favorite songs of theirs on Youtube titled Late Bloomers. Enjoy.
