Beloved hardcore band Modern Life Is War have delivered their new single “Bloodsport” today.
Vocalist/lyricist Jeff Eaton said this about the new song, which can be heard here:
"The opening guitars ride on the dystopian Dead Kennedy’s violent wave. At first I took my time, waited to come in and imagined the energy it might take for one voice to ignite the spark of a riot and crush the hateful opposition with a loving fury of art, kindness and community. Violently only if necessary, and then decisively. I wrote this lyric the night before I tracked the final version in a fury with few revisions. I wanted to be as immediate and direct as possible, and hammer home a few simple points that I didn’t want to be lyrically coded about. Put me on the dissident list for 25 and 26, cause I’m against it."
“Bloodsport” stems from Modern Life Is War’s forthcoming studio album Life on the Moon, which will be released on September 5 via Deathwish Inc. and Iodine Recordings. Pre-orders for the album can be made here.
