About this product
Letlive's album, If I'm the Devil... is a strident, principled and heavy work. It's also perfectly suited for someone who just wants to pound on the steering wheel after a hard day at school, work, or whatever institution happens to command most of your waking life. Just consider the name Letlive - it's meant to be life-affirming above all else. Frontman Jason Aalon Bulter has an ambitious nature which takes him to extremely lofty places. He acknowledges that Letlive is a punk band and one that reflects humanity as a collection of emotional, frontal-lobe beings. At the same time, he fully believes that Letlive can access that utopian, inexplicable transcendental quality that allows art to reach budding revolutionaries the way books and other oratory cannot. If their album, If I'm the Devil... needs a genre, Butler would call it Inchrevolutionary counterculture music,Inch like a more emotional Rage Against the Machine, or Public Enemy with more inclusive politics. Butler grew up as a skater disillusioned with what he saw as a heteronormative, patriarchal punk rock scene until the older kids showed him black artists such as Bad Brains, Living Colour and Fishbone. InchPunk rock is inclusive if you want to be included,Inch Butler states, recognizing how Letlive can speak for people who feel they lack representation.

![The Get Up Kids - Problems - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/cde7ee1a-f305-4f59-b164-25ffc2436ef8.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
On their new album Problems - their first full-length in eight years - The Get Up Kids examine everything from life-changing loss to loneliness to the inevitable anxiety of existing in 2019. But by sustaining the essence of their sound - anthemic choruses with sing-along-ready melodies - the band highlights those troubles as a shared experience, giving way to an unbreakable solidarity. And at the heart of Problems is an invaluable element the band's embodied since their 1997 debut Four Minute Mile a penetrating lyricism that's both acutely introspective and indelibly resonant.
After Jerry Lee Lewis' sensational successes in the 1950s for the SUN Records tag, things had quietened down for 'The Killer'. In 1958, the media and fans condemned his marriage to his underage cousin. In the spring of 1964, he toured the UK and Germany, playing in small clubs accompanied by local bands. In Hamburg, his energetic performance at the 'Star-Club' was recorded and released on LP - ranked 16th in Rolling Stone's 2015 list of the '50 Greatest Live Albums of All Time'! Just a few months later, on July 18, 1964, Jerry Lee Lewis performed at the 'Municipal Auditorium' in Birmingham, Alabama, in front of 15, 000 enthusiastic fans. Accompanied by his US tour band at the time, which later called itself The Memphis Beats (with James Hutcheson - guitar, Larry Nichols - organ, Herman Hawkins - bass guitar, and Morris Tarrant - drums), the 29-year-old pianist and singer set the stage on fire! Similar to the Nashville Teens in Hamburg, the Memphis Beats in Birmingham struggled to keep up with this burst of unbridled energy. The Star-Club album may sound a little more straightforward, but otherwise 'The Greatest Live Show On Earth' is quite comparable to the legendary record from Hamburg, pounding piano, raunchy and raucous vocals, great backing.
