Stil Life are a five-piece from Blackburn. They’re made up of Owen (singer/guitar), Daniel (guitar), Charlie (guitar), Sam (bass), and Sam (drums).
The band are life-long mates who have organically grown into the band through their shared love of shoegaze, grunge, and alt-rock.
Let’s see what they have been up to:
Televised
Pulling from the alt-rock majesty of The Guest List, they deliver punishing guitars laced with shoegaze and gothic splendour
Time
An all-time great indie vocal and melody. Owen’s gruffness is hushed to a more angelic stasis, it allows the moonlit guitars to revolve around the infectious delivery and create pure gold.
Signs
A well-worn anthemic style? Yes, but the sense of momentum motoring through it is undeniable. A swelling sense of fog builds an almost unbearable tension through the guitars and Sam’s vocals, whilst the bassline conjures a violence! All are blown away by the brutal solo that could soundtrack every great cinematic hero's return.
