UK act Lives deliver a powerful message in these politically charged times with their new rock anthem, Cancelled.
Lives – Cancelled
Led by multifaceted musician Peter Chisholm, formerly of the iconic cult band The Sea, Lives is a dynamic project known for its socially and politically charged lyrics. With a mission to create music for the disenfranchised and those who feel they don’t belong, Lives embodies rebellion and defiance.
A seasoned artist, Peter has toured extensively with The Sea, performing at countless venues and festivals, including Glastonbury and SXSW. Needless to say, he brings a wealth of experience to every performance.
Building on the warm reception of their previous single Come Together #2, Lives has come back stronger, faster, and louder with their hard-hitting track Cancelled. In a time of heightened political tension and division, this song perfectly captures the current sociopolitical climate.
This composition emerged from Peter’s disillusionment with online and political society, and more importantly, his deep disdain for both the right and the left, highlighting their hypocrisy and divisive tactics. Musically, the track thrives on its powerful instrumentation, featuring smashing drums and relentless riffs. Peter’s raw, anger-fueled vocals, reminiscent of a more intense Jack White, add an extra edge to the song.
Adding more flavour to this already bold tune, Lives has released a music video featuring unflattering depictions of various political figures, showcasing their fearless approach to expressing their views.
“Cancelled is a viscerally euphoric sonic experience with a powerful message that is sure to stir things up.”
