AOV09 Right 4 Life « Off the beaten track » CD/LP

		Founded in 1995, Right 4 Life brings back to life the spirit of real Hardcore from the late 80’s. Strongly influenced by New-York Hardcore and majors bands such as Cro-mags, Madball, YOT,  and Sick Of It All.

	They released 2 demotapes, 1 split 7", the "destroy babylon" mcd (also licensed to S.U.R in Japan and get 950 sells over there). Strengthened by those releases the band plays a serie of gigs and tours in Spain, Belgium, Italia and Swizerland.
	Then after some line-up changes RIGHT 4 LIFE put out the "Give us light for truth" mcd and get his place as one of the most promising european hardcore band. With this cds RIGHT 4 LIFE manages to retranscribe all its energy and develops its "conscience" through lyrics denouncing individualism and general apathy, while perpetuating the "fun" spirit of hardcore. Once again the band return on the road and played at many and prestigious festivals : Dour in Belgium, Evilfest in London and l'Eurocore in Holland, alone or together with bands like : Stormcore, Agnostic Front, Cro-Mags, Madball, Snapcase, 25 Ta Life, Ensign, Dropkick Murphy's, Better Than A thousand...

	Then comes the time for their first full-length album  "Off the beaten track". RIGHT 4 LIFE guys  released very powerful hardcore songs with many influences. Melodic on songs like Off the beaten track, Inside, UWEC and metal in Worn out, From sheeps into wolves, Life. But still they remain close to their old school and NY influences : Hardcore to the bone ! Some call this "old school 2 new school" hardcore, but the band won't stay linked to any labels as inspiration only leads the way.

	With this new CD under their belt, RIGHT 4 LIFE simply released one of the best european hardcore album of the past years. In support the band played many gigs with great bands like Madball, Comin'Correct, Skarhead, Shelter, Youth Of Today, Sick Of It All... and toured europe (ger, belg, nl, irl, uk, swiz, fr) on their own in dec 2002 and then with mighty INTEGRITY in august 2003. (ger, pol, cz, belg, nl, uk, fr). A third 1 month european tour is shedule for dec 2003 (fr, it, swiz, ger, pol, dk, belg, nl) while opening for 25 TA LIFE (usa). Then the band will hit again the studio as over 10 new songs are already wrote.
