BIO:
Pioneering, NYHC act 25 TA LIFE started out as INSIDE KNOWLEDGE during the early nineties, first making their presence felt as 25 TA LIFE on the recording front with a 1993 demo tape. The group had been founded by former AGNOSTIC FRONT roadie Rick Healy, also operating Punk outfit COMIN' CORRECT in parallel. Joining Healy would be guitarist Fred Mesk, bass player Mike Heinzer and drummer Seth. Guitarist Beto would later join MADBALL.
The German We Bite label put out the 'Keepin It Real' album in 1996, followed up by a 10" EP 'Strength Through Unity: The Spirit Remains' on Triple Crown. During 1998 the band issued split 7" singles shared with MORNING AGAIN, on Good Life Recordings, and SKARHEAD, 'Make It Work', via Triple Crown, the latter pressed in clear, yellow, orange and red vinyl. The full-length album 'Friendship Loyalty Commitment' arrived in 1999.
In mid 2004 former 25 TA LIFE bassist Dave Urban joined forces with ex-BLITZSPEER drummer Brian Essing and vocalist/bassist Chris Reece in a new project entitled RESURGE. That same year Rick Healy forged HEALS NOTHING.
Back To Basics issued the 'Hellbound Misery Torment' album in 2005.
REVIEW:
This band always divided a bit, although I am not sure why. Some loving it, some completely disliking it, I am happy to get their latest effort for a review, this time on a European label for the European market. The first thing I noticed was the kinda changed voice of Rick, not „barking“ as he did a few years ago, but focussing more on shouting – and doing good. The music is still classic NYHC, no surprises, but some at least partly modern moments on here. The opener convinces me with a good groove and a nice structure that made my head shook instantly. Not too clichesque, but really classic, the next song starts off really fast before moshing out it’s chorus. Surprisingly, it takes some metallic melodies from the guitars later on, calms down a bit with even more metallic guitars before ending in a final mosh. „prepare yourself“ shows more diversity on Ricks voice, screaming again, offering a metal-mosh chorus, and therefore connecting the classic with the modern. 2 covers are included as well, Underdogs from „Empire Falls“, quite punky and entertaining, and a song by Jetsex, fast punkrock, and a nice closing song. You won’t get technical precision on this, and no reinvention of the bit silent NYHC, but as a fan of the music and the time maybe 10 years ago, this will please your ears if you are used to Rick ta Lifes voice at least a bit. Although at least a bit better production may have been nice beside all this retro-stuff, I’d go thumbs up for this. Sometimes, no change is a good change.
