If I'm The Devil

letlive.’s new album, If I’m the Devil…is a strident, principled and heavy work. It’s also perfectly suited for someone who just wants to pound on the steering wheel after a hard day at school, work, or whatever institution happens to command most of your waking life. Just consider the name “letlive.” - it’s meant to be life-affirming above all else. If their new album, If I’m the Devil… needs a genre, Butler would call it “revolutionary counterculture music” , like a more emotional Rage Against the Machine, or Public Enemy with more inclusive politics. Butler grew up as a skater disillusioned with what he saw as a heteronormative, patriarchal punk rock scene until the older kids showed him black artists such as Bad Brains, Living Colour and Fishbone. “Punk rock is inclusive if you want to be included,” Butler states, recognizing how letlive. can speak for people who feel they lack representation.
