"[EVICTION] reminds me of Celine Dion, if she was in a bloody pile on the floor." -- Mike Palermo, Augusta GA.
"I'm a music fanatic and am constantly searching for new and exciting sounds. Every week or so I check on cdbaby and look at all the new stuff they've got, listening to sound samples for bands that catch my interest. I really liked what I heard with you guys!" --Adam, Burbank CA
"Y'all might wanna try booking a show at the James Brown Arena sometime. After that Disturbed concert, I think most people are kind of looking forward to having more rock/metal bands." -- Andrew Schweitzer, Augusta, GA.

L.i.E. - RE (Do not left click.)
L.i.E. is a 6-piece contemporary hard rock/metal fusion band from the land of Augusta, GA comprised of two up-start guitarists and former members of popular Augusta bands such as Cycle, Jemani, The Haeighties, and 420 Outback. Influenced by everything from 60s psychedelia, 70s prog rock, 80s metal, 90s alternative, to turn of the century contemporary music, L.i.E. seeks to create memorable pieces of music, each with its own character. L.i.E.’s debut, EVICTION, is a 16-track album that runs the gamut between radio friendly hard rock and face smashing metal with touches of space rock, classical and symphonic music, electronica, and even an ‘remix’ track featuring Augusta underground hip hop artist special guests Rebel Lion.

Hailing from Augusta, Georgia, L.i.E. is a unique but traditional band that takes a lot of small elements from different genres and mixes them together into a catchy sound. These elements range from 1970s progressive rock, modern alternative hard rock, traditional metal, and lots of melody. The metal elements are found in the heavily distorted riffs during the chorus, though even the heaviness is melodic and heartfelt enough to be friendly to a radio audience. The verses bring the 1970s prog sound to the mix, with echoey guitars and flute-sounding keyboards. There are some harsh vocals, though to call them extreme or death growls would be completely off. The chorus is incredibly catchy with an anthemic feel to it. I found myself singing "BACK TO THE WATER!!!" while walking home from work, which is always a sign of a well written catchy chorus. L.i.E. is a band to keep an eye and ear out for! -- Bob Wren, Brookline MA (review of 'Control')
