Melody in the Chaos: Letlive.'s Jason Butler on His Troubled Youth and 'The Blackest Beautiful'
FUSE TV - Melody in the Chaos: Letlive.'s Jason Butler on His Troubled Youth and 'The Blackest Beautiful'
What can we say about letlive. that they aren't already showing you themselves?
The self-denoted "Soul Punx" quintet out of Los Angeles is one of the most in-your-face groups on this year's Vans Warped Tour, from the raging intensity of their live performances to the intimate insanity of their new record, The Blackest Beautiful.
That new record has been the subject of much conversation during the last few weeks, since it started streaming online courtesy of Epitaph Records. The band's follow-up to 2010's Fake History is embedded with frontman Jason Butler's straightforwardly confessional lyricism; while one song may reveal a peek into Butler's troubled youth, the next track may be vitriol spewed in the faces of governments and corporations.
There's a lot going on in the letlive. world right now and the band's career is moving at a whirlwind pace. Lucky for us, we were able to hop on the phone with Butler during the Warped stop in Washington, D.C. for a wide-ranging conversation. From discussing the album's production to its cover art, from stories of his childhood to his stage presence, our interview covers all the bases...there's even an unexpected reveal of who letlive.'s new full-time drummer is!
