Living Things's Biography
Living Things, an American band based in St. Louis, Missouri features brothers; Lillian, (vocals/guitar) Eve, (bass) and Bosh Berlin, (drums), and their friend Cory Becker(guitar). Their songs have politically driven lyrics and their major label debut Ahead of the Lions (Jive/Zomba Records-released October, 2005). The album was recorded by the Steve Albini (Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Pixies) and the first single "Bom Bom Bom" and was featured in a Cingular commercial promoting an iTunes-compatible phone.
"All the major labels have a lot of pop and R&B [artists], 'cause that's the only thing that seems to really sell these days," Lillian Berlin says. "The strength of [Jive] is that they don't have another band like us, and they want to. We're sort of their rock band to break so that they can sign others. I feel like it's an ideal situation, rather than just being lost in the shuffle with 30 other rock bands."
A major label may seem like a strange pairing for a band that cites such diverse influences as Tupac Shakur, poet Sylvia Plath and novelist Henry Miller, but Berlin is quick to disagree.
"It's important that our message be heard by as many people as possible," Berlin says. "A lot of indie labels could get the message out, but not to a broad spectrum. When we went looking for a new record company [after Geffen], Jive was the one that said, you guys can do anything you want to do onstage or off. So we said, 'Hey, why not?'"
