LETLIVE: Looks Like their New Album is Coming this Summer

by | Feb 11, 2016

How’s that for summer jams? It does appear that the highly anticipated forthcoming record from letlive. will be out in June, or at least sometime this summer.

Titled If I’m the Devil…, the album will be a follow-up to 2013’s The Blackest Beautiful… and from what we’ve heard on the street, it’s a more advanced version of their rock/soul approach with acoustic parts, and even electronic elements.

Lots happening on the letlive front these days. Tomorrow they’ll be headlining the first night of Friends Fest — which, during their formative years, was a gathering with all their friends in bands. It’ll take place at Chain Reaction in Anaheim, and will serve as a benefit show for The Ghost Inside.

Then in March they’ll be heading out with The Wonder Years for a lengthy US tour.

And just because… here’s The Blackest Beautiful in full:
