April 1, 2014 – Los Angeles, CA – Veteran LA band The Generators will lead a punk rock resurgence this spring with the release of their 10th studio album, Life Gives-Life Takes, via Randale Records on May 5th.
Fans can watch their new video for their first single, “Castaways,” now at http://youtu.be/9vm8a9kovOg.
For
the better part of two decades, The Generators have been one of the
most productive and consistent bands from Los Angeles. From their early
days on Triple X Records (Social Distortion, GBH, Jane’s Addiction) to
their years with TKO Records (Dropkick Murphys, Swingin’ Utters), the
band has witnessed, outlived and chugged through the passing trends of
LA’s punk rock scene, all while cutting their own path by creating
substantial and memorable music that set them apart from others.
Founding
members Doug Kane and Mike Snow’s punk rock roots reach even deeper
having both been in bands in during LA’s punk rock boom of the early
80’s. Inspired by the 1977 Punk spirit, it was then that they realized
their true calling and would spend the next thirty years making punk
rock music, never compromising and never wavering along the way.
For their 10th studio album, Life Gives-Life Takes,
The Generators have come full circle, paying homage to their early days
as a band with enthralling rock ‘n’ roll infused punk that showcases
their maturity as songwriters while maintaining a youthful spike of
angst and aggression.
"This
record is a rock n roll record, but our street punk upbringing
definitely shines through, more so than our last few records," explains
Kane. "The vibe is similar to our humble beginnings. It's a step
forward, but I also think it has glimmers of our past in it as well. I
wanted to bring the bands songwriting back to the our earlier days where
we kicked out those upbeat energetic 2 minute rock n roll anthems!"
Life Gives-Life Takes
was recorded and produced by the band’s good friend Rich Mouser at The
Mouse House Studios in Los Angeles, and features 12 hard-charging punk
anthems including the new single “Castaways,” the rollicking album
opener “Gotta Be A Better Way” and the ripper “Critical Condition.”
