Live Fast Die Fast

IT IS THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY, THE PASSION, THE TRUE MEANING OF WHAT HARDCORE IS. THAT IS WHAT DRIVES LONG ISLAND’S LIVE FAST DIE FAST. FORMED IN THE SUMMER OF 2008 IN NORTH BABYLON, NY, LIVE FAST DIE FAST TAKES PRIDE IN CONTINUING THE SAME HARDCORE SOUND THAT INSPIRED THEM IN THE EARLY 90’S.

IN THE SUMMER OF 2011, LFDF RELEASED THEIR FIRST FULL LENGTH RECORD ON TERRORBOMB RECORDS. “THE END OF WHAT WE KNOW”, WAS PRODUCED BY MIKE GALLO (AGNOSTIC FRONT, STIGMA), AND FEATURED GUEST VOCAL APPEARANCES FROM VINNY STIGMA AND RIK JIMENEZ (THIS IS HELL, SOLDIERS, EXTINCTION A.D.).

SIGNED BY FULL CIRCLE ATTACK RECORDS IN THE SUMMER OF 2013, THEIR LONG AWAITED SOPHOMORE RELEASE, “KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED”IS A 9 SONG COLLECTION OF STRIPPED DOWN, GRITTY NEW YORK HARDCORE THAT WAS CO-PRODUCED BY MIKE GALLO AND GEORGE REYNOLDS(MIND OVER MATTER).

LFDF’S INFLUENCES CAN BE TRACED BACK TO NYHC BANDS OF YESTERYEAR AND THEY ARE BENT ON BRINGING THIS STYLE BACK TO THE FOREFRONT. SOME HAVE TRIED THIS IN THE PAST JUST TO END UP SOUNDING LIKE CARDBOARD CUTOUTS OF BANDS GONE BY BUT NOT THE CASE HERE. THE APPROACH SEEMS TO HAVE EVERYTHING BUILT ON A STRONG FOUNDATION OF WELL WRITTEN SONGS WHICH ALL SEEM TO INCORPORATE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MELODY. HARDCORE IS ALIVE AND WELL AND CAN STILL BE COUNTED ON TO DELIVER MUSIC OF RELEVANCE AND CONVICTION AND THEN SOME BECAUSE OF BANDS LIKE THIS INJECTING THE SCENE WITH THEIR TAKE ON WHAT HARDCORE MUSIC IS.
