The Living End

Since forming way back in 1994, The Living End have always forged their own path. Rockabilly was what your uncool Dad was into, but somehow they made it fashionable. The band have always stayed true to their roots without following a fad or trend just because it's the flavour of the month. Fast forward to 2011 and we've just been introduced to their sixth album and longest title to date 'The Ending Is Just the Beginning Repeating'.

  Mere Theory
Walking In Storms
MGM

The Mere Theory sound, for me personally, is a reminder of the second strongest wave of Australian rock music in my generation. The first wave involved the songs of Motor Ace, Jebediah and Bodyjar amongst others, while the second included Gyroscope, After The Fall and Kisschasy. The opening guitars of Mere Theory's second record 'Walking In Storms' instantly capture that time for me. It sometimes seems that this band does not get enough credit as they have not only been one of the local scene's longest serving bands that are still active, but they also always release damn fine music.
