Modern Life Is War will release their third album ‘Midnight In America’ on their new home- Equal Vision records, produced by indie-rock legend J. Robbins (Against Me!, Texas Is The Reason, Murder By Death). The band, which calls Marshalltown, Iowa their home, formed in 2002 by five friends who shared the same dream of starting their own DIY punk/hardcore band and somehow escaping the sleepy town where they all grew up.
By the end of 2003 they had released their own 7”single, recorded their debut album, ‘My Love.My Way’ & built a fan base through constant touring across the US. In early 2004 Reflections records licensed their debut and sent them on their first ever European tour. In 2005 the group signed with Deathwish Inc which after more touring led the band to release the highly regarded ‘Witness’. Deathwish Inc then reissued ‘My Love.My Way’ in the Autumn of 2006.
Jumping to the present, they inked a deal with Equal Vision earlier this year and ‘Midnight In America’ is their label debut, set to cement them as one of the most important bands in hardcore today.
After successful tours with Converge, Bane, Comeback Kid to name but a few, MLIW will be touring this summer with Southern rock/Post-hardcore bands He Is Legend and Maylene & The Sons of Disaster in the USA and expect to hit the UK soon after.
