Already heralded the next evolutionary step in heavy music, LA based buzz band letlive. have just released an exhilarating new video for their track “Renegade 86.” The clip features the band’s charismatic front man Jason Aalon Butler and band mates frantically careening through Europe while trying to make a live performance.
Inspiring comparisons to Glassjaw, Refused and At The Drive In, letlive.’s recent Epitaph release Fake History is being called a masterpiece while their absolutely electrifying live shows are becoming the stuff of legend. The BBC described a recent London performance as “a lesson in the pure power of music” while Kerrang! described letlive.’s London debut as “a gig which everyone present will remember for years, and which hundreds more will say they attended.”
Make sure to arrive in time to see what the rest of the planet is buzzing about when letlive. tour North America as part of the “No Guts, No Glory” Tour along with San Diego’s Pierce the Veil, Miss May I, Woe Is Me, and The Amity Affliction.

Critical Acclaim For letlive.
It’s an intense furious whirlwind that, for 45 minutes, threatens to tear the roof and walls off the venue. Not bad for their first headlining gig. You can almost feel, as a photographer crowd surfs near the front, the whole audience’s mind blowing simultaneously. – Kerrang, Live Review
Fake History (Epitaph), is a manic showcase for frontman Jason Aalon Butler’s diverse and theatrical vocal palette—a gorgeous, liquid swoop he partially inherited from his soulman father, who once backed up Little Richard and War. – Revolver Magazine
Trying to contain letlive’s tension, passion and energy is like trying to keep mercury in your hand. Except mercury is about 30 percent less dangerous. – Alternative Press
All talk has turned to towards Jason Butler as hardcore’s new breakout boy – the King of crazy live shows. – NME
letlive. is the freshest take on what has become a beaten down idea and laughable group of bands over the past few years. With Fake History, the band showed a lot of ears that there is still passion and forward thinking within a genre of overly saturated breakdowns one after the other. letlive. have a powerful soapbox both lyrically and musically. 2012 looks big for them.” – Absolute Punk
letlive. breathe new life into the heavy music scene. Their songwriting has no patience for genre expectations or limitations. – AOL Noisecreep
A lesson in the pure power of music…Listen to letlive., and your mind – as well as your eyes and your heart – will be held wide open. – BBC
Here at Rock Sound we try to avoid hype, so believe us when we say letlive. could be the most exciting band in the world – Rock Sound UK
letlive. could be one of the most important bands to hit heavy music in recent years. With their unique blend of devastating post-hardcore fury and unshakably catchy vocal melodies, they are unleashing the shape of punk to come – Metal Hammer
