Interview by Coco Le Sex Bomb
Perth metal hybrid Liveconformdie are about as eclectic musically as a band could get.
Citing influence from bands like Slipknot, Korn and Limp Bizkit to $uicideboy$, Nirvana, Royal Blood and Brockhampton, Liveconformdie are a musical force unto themselves, caring little for the trappings of mainstream success or acceptance.
A true, hard-working, DIY band, Liveconformdie are in complete control of their own destiny, which now looks in increasingly positive territory following the release last earlier this month of the band’s new EP Vol II: Music For Living Failures.
HEAVY’s Coco Le Sex Bomb sat down with Jeremy Pickett, or Jez, the band’s guitarist, vocalist and producer for a chat just ahead of the EP’s release.
“There’s a bit of everything, really,” he explained of the sound of the EP. “We really branched into a lot of different genres, and we took a lot of advice from reviews of our previous album, and we tried to go a bit weirder with it. We’re definitely showing a lot of our inspiration in this one. I love the weird factor. We’re using a lot of different sounds. It’s not just strictly guitar, drum, bass, vocal. There’s a lot of other stuff going on.”
