Los Angeles soul punk band Letlive. will release their new album If I’m The Devil… this Friday, June 10th, and pre-orders are available right now. Since their inception in 2002, Letlive. have been a band that is not easy to categorize. In fact, they refuse to be constrained by the ideas of a “scene” — whether it is punk, metal, indie, or rap. However, if we’re going to put If I’m the Devil… into a genre, one could posit revolutionary counterculture music. A punk rock Run the Jewels, a more emotional Rage Against the Machine, or Public Enemy meshed with inclusive politics.

The band will embark on a headline tour of the U.S. in June to support the album’s release. All of the band’s tour dates are listed below.

Less Than Jake recently released their live album, Live From Astoria, on CD and digital download via their webstore. The 21-song album comes from a recording in 2001 at the famed London, England venue and perfectly captures the band’s fantastic live show. Grab the album and get prepared to see the band on this year’s entire Warped Tour and their UK tour in October.

My thanks to Riot Fest for sponsoring Chorus this week. I’m pretty blown away by how many great bands are on the bill this year, this has to be one of the few festivals I’d have a hard time seeing every band I wanted to. Tickets are on sale now for both Denver and Chicago and if you use these respective links the festival will know you came from here which helps us out a little. You’ll find more about the lineup that’s been released so far below, and there are more announcements coming in the near future.
