Living Daylights, The - What Keeps You Breathing CD
No Reason Records
Hailing from the tiny town of Lincoln comes the hard working, melodic punk rock quartet that is The Living Daylights. The band formed from remnants of previous local household names back in August 2007 and what a journey it’s been so far… From the heights of constant life on the road and headlining the BBC stage at Leeds and Reading Festivals, to the lows of motor-way breakdowns and being robbed and brutalized by the police, one things for sure- nothing is slowing these guys down.
Their last sophomore album “What Keeps You Breathing” is a testament to the blood, sweat and tears beaten out of their instruments night after night on stage and you can hear this in each and every song. This time around the band have raised the bar with a fusion of infectious heart-racing tempo’d songs such as “These Roads” and the title track to guitar heavy, anthemic numbers such as “Sedative”, “Maybe Escapes” and “Our Yesterdays”. From the opening lyrics “We’ve hung our heads for too long” to the closing lines of “We belong beyond this town, you and me” you can hear the above journey and can’t deny this feel-good album’s positive undertone messages of making the best out of bad situations by finding something your passionate about, in this case music and all that revolves around it, which is so apparent in the title of the record.
