Live Skull
What Could Go Wrong?
What Could Go Wrong? is Live Skull's fourth studio LP on Bronson Recordings since reforming in 2016, and we couldn't be more excited. While fervently exploring and evolving the post-punk sonic landscape, the new songs have edged away from inter-personal politics to center more on politics-at-large -especially the scary move toward totalitarianism here in the US. We started the band to keep our sanity during Ronald Reagan's first term, reformed when Trump was elected President and now are releasing the new LP in response to (gasp!) his re-election! Elect a convicted felon, What Could Go Wrong? In keeping with a long tradition of featuring stellar female bass players, we invited Colyn Hunt to anchor Live Skulls' heavy grooves. The pairing of her dark and vibey phrasing with Rich Hutchins' swinging percussive attack is mesmerizing. Sound familiar? A perfect backdrop for Mark C and Dave Hollinghurst to bounce guitar riffs back and forth, shifting on the fly between noise, melody and -at times- outright chaos! Live Skull's fever dreams reanimated!
