Lightning Strikes Twice

Lightning Strikes Twice

Rarely does an album come together with the perfect recipe of passion, magic, and awe as the 1994 chart-topping Throwing Copper from the band, Live. Fifteen years later, Live has done it again, with their 8th studio album, tentatively scheduled for world-wide release in early August, 2009. The new album, The Dark Sea, is pure magic and encaptures the essence of brilliant melodic rock layered with meat & cheese and spiced with that essential juice. Loyal Live fans will eat this up and grin from ear to ear, while casual listeners will have a new addiction on their hands once they hear this album.

The upcoming album was written and recorded on a small island off of Greece in the spring of ’09, where the 4 band members vacationed together and secluded themselves from friends and family for 3 weeks. Singer, songwriter Ed Kowalczyk relays what the experience was like sitting down on the shores of ‘the dark sea’. “The universe seemed to come together full-circle for us, and I remember sitting there with my guitar just shaking like a leaf, bowing to the gods in humility, asking ‘why me God, why give me this supernatural gift of devine creativity’. All four of us were deeply touched by what transpired on those shores, and we all feel unworthy of these songs; at times it was overwhelming and it just seemed too good to be true. We wrote 10 songs together that felt absolutely perfect, and then we decided to round out the album with 3 of our oldies, that we re-recorded and remastered to sound exactly like the original, with a few minor changes in lyrics to each one”.

The 3 re-recorded songs, “Hold me Up”, Susquehanna”, & “Raising a Man” were added because they fit in seamlessly with the other 10 tracks, Kowalczyk explained. “The 3 songs we chose to add matched the vibe of the album, which has a gritty, rustic, old-time feel to it, sprinkled with a glitter of color, edge and modern art.”

Their first official full-length studio album with Vanguard Records, The Dark Sea is a masterpiece not seen by Live since Throwing Copper. Each track has the potential to be a giant hit on alternative rock or adult contemporary radio, with “Skeptic or Magic”, “Flotation”, and “Killer Scent” being the strongest efforts. Vanguards is expecting great things with this album, and has already been pushing the first single, “Hold me Up”, to radio stations across the globe 1 month in advance of its scheduled release. The entire album is so interesting to listen to, and it rocks harder than most rock albums released these days, that a chart-topper is definitely not out of reach.

After 20 plus years of writing and touring across the world, Live hopes to reach as many people as possible with this latest effort. Job well done, Live!
