The Artist Life (Live @ WAKESTOCK July 26th)

LIVING 10 SONG CD AVAILABLE NOW! GET IT ON TOUR!

About Me


There must be something in the water in Burlington, Ontario. Or rather, there must be something in the water that the x-members of Burlington punk legends Jersey have been drinking as of late. With the band members going on to find recent success as members of Alexisonfire, The Creepshow, and (buzz band of the moment) The Saint Alvia Cartel - it shouldn’t come as any surprise then that x-Jersey member Ian Blackwood would return with an incredible new powerhouse band of his own.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome THE ARTIST LIFE.
The band (also comprised of x-members of Southern Ontario hardcore punk legends Jude The Obscure and ATMOI) have crafted a debut 8 song ep titled “Living” that fuses the driving pop rock n’ roll of “Monkey Wrench”-era Foo Fighters to a solid melodic punk rock backbone. The results are songs with massive hooky riffs and choruses that will stay in your head for days. Honestly, think Soul Asylum on steroids!
Opting not to release a retail CD version of the ep at this time, the band have made all 8 songs and artwork for CD packaging available as a FREE DOWNLOAD on the band’s website: www.theartistlife.com
