Still Life was an emocore band from Los Angeles , California , USA , which existed from 1989 to 2003 .
history
The three-piece band was founded in 1989 under the name Monster Club . In 1991, when the band's first singer left to play in the band Strife , the name was changed to Still Life .
In 2003 the band gave one more concert and has not been active as a group since.
Paul Rauch and David Pitzel founded the band Old Ground in 2003 , using the Sunflower Tribe label founded for Still Life .
style
Characteristic for their sound are typically hard outbursts of scream and slow parts that are more similar to Melodic Hardcore . The following can be found in a text at Greyday Productions :
" Their chaotic yet poetic style of music is both aggressive and at the same time serene, harkening back to the hey-day of melodic hardcore "
The band is also considered extremely influential on other emocore and hardcore punk bands. At Ebullition Records , the band's influence is described as follows:
" While other bands relied on raw hate or intense aggression, Still Life relied on pure emotion and honesty. Seeing them play live was a very emotional experience. It was very hardcore, and very real. [...] They were an inspiration and a breath of fresh air. They helped to define emotive hardcore in the early '90s. "
