Edit history

Melbourne-based four piece Some Kind of Life, established 2005, play melodic alt rock that doesn't sacrifice brains for brawn. With a list of influences that take in anglo-melodic songwriting to American indie rock and post-punk, Some Kind of Life are a band with a focus on live performance, and connecting to an audience. Some Kind of Life is: Peter Simpson on vocals and rhythm guitar Nick Williams on lead guitar Jack Dahlqvist on bass Evan Webster on drums. The group is centrally made up of two Australians, and two dispossessed Kiwis, for whom Auckland's comparatively placid rock and/or roll scene forced migration to Melbourne's skank-filled, sticky-floored, pub rock mecca. The Sound Angular rock guitars without the Emo fringes. Lyrical introspection. A New York sensibility without the tapered drainpipes. An awareness of classic and alt rock without burying the sound in garage nostalgia and guitar histrionics. And a mellow side that reverently builds on British pop and songwriter
