Live Animals - Hell or High Water


Born in the industrial sprawl of Southern Ontario, Live Animals embody the raw energy of cracked asphalt and restless nights. Their music fuses heavy grunge riffs with haunting melodies and thunderous rhythms, channeling the spirit of ’90s grunge rebellion through a modern perspective. 

Hell or High Water is the second single from their upcoming EP, "Who Gets Hunted." The band commented on the song: "We took this song as an opportunity to explore another side of Live Animals and add a new texture to our growing sound. Leaning into the ethereal and ambience in creating an anthem about chasing the path in pursuit of identity." 

I love the song's sound and mood, reminding me of something between Alice in Chains and Creed. Quality guitar riffs, solos, and arpeggios on quality vocals (I love the chorus, super catchy) and a super solid rhythm section. I find the song overall extremely enjoyable from start to finish, thanks to a spot-on performance by the band and a fantastic production.
