after install.It was more than a decade ago that a Melbourne rockabilly covers outfit called the Runaway Boys wrote a bunch of original tunes and changed their name to The Living End.ARIA awards, countless other accolades and gathered fans all over the world.To that end, the boys turned to an old cohort to help them in a new direction for album number four, State of Emergency.Coming off the back a very successful 2004 (including huge tours of the US, first with Jet and the Vines and later with Blink 182 and No Doubt) the lads were in high spirits.Andy was well and truly settled in the role he had inherited from former drummer Travis Dempsy just prior to the making of the band's last record, Modern Artillery, and Chris had, thankfully, avoided any near death experiences.Rocket From the Crypt) all show The Living End flexing their musical muscles and minds.It's a very impressive balance, more so because there's never a moment here where you could believe this was anyone except The Living End.This time, yeah, we're doing some different things, but it sounds like The Living End doing different things, not like The Living End trying to sound like a different band.And why would they want to sound like anything else?Most of these are in MP3 format.The new ones are in WMA format.Just Too Bad

The Living End formed in 1994 after Chris Cheney met Scott Owen.They both attended Wheelers Hill Secondary College in Melbourne.However, by 1994 Chris and Scott were writing their own material, which is when they decided to change their name to The Living End, a reference to the film Rock Around the Clock.Billie Joe Armstrong, they landed a support slot in Green Day's upcoming Australian tour.After the tour, the group went into the studio to record their debut EP Hellbound which received moderate support from community radio stations.Demsey was soon playing with the band at major festivals such as Pushover and the Falls Festival, and was considered to drum very much in the style of Keith Moon.After a year touring Australia, The Living End again headed into the studio to record something new to sell at their live shows.Prisoner of Society double single.ARIA Top 50 singles charts.The band signed on to Modular Recordings for the release of their debut self titled album.The Living End's breakout was the most successful part of their career so far.The Living End were awarded two more ARIA awards in 1999 for Best Group, and Best New Artist.This defined the albums creativity.He had been on the road to the house of a member of fellow Australian band Bodyjar.The Longnecks were formed to test out Andy Strachan and new material to be on the Modern ARTillery album, without attracting too much public attention.This was followed by heavy touring (including Big Day Out) and the release of Modern ARTillery.The CD featured two new tracks: I Cant Give You What I Haven't Got and Bringing It All Back Home.Chris performed at the 2004 ARIA awards as part of the group The Wrights, featuring members of many other Australian bands.State of Emergency
The Living End's fourth album, titled State of Emergency, was recorded in Byron Bay after they played in the Splendour in the Grass festival.The Living End again played gigs under the name The Longnecks prior to recording the album, to test out new material.Nevertheless, the new styles and other styles experienced in Modern ARTillery remain in State of Emergency to an extent; arguably most dominantly punk pop, rockabilly now being a less met blend of The Living End's punkabilly style.The fourth single, "Nothing Lasts Forever" was released in Australia on 19 August and was not as successful as the first two.The album was also nominated for the 2006 J Award.The album was released in the United States through Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's Adeline Records along with Eastwest Records on 11 July 2006.In 2006 the band took 4 Jack Awards; Best Live Band, Best Live TV Performance, Best Performer (Chris) and Best Drummer (Andy).This means that The Living End has being awarded the most Jack Awards each year and overall so far.During the 2006 State of Emergency tour, the Living End's show in Milwaukee was cancelled, so it was rescheduled on December 2nd as a supporting act for +44.The Living End slow down touring and restart recording.Cold Chisel cover "Rising Sun", which is currently available on a Cold Chisel tribute album, and after The Great Escape in May, started work on their fifth studio album, though they toured the UK in August, releasing State of Emergency there on August 13 through Deck Cheese Records.These tracks were well received by the audience who witnessed the performance, although a few days after the performance Chris Cheney sent an email to everyone in The Living End mailing list talking about the EG Awards show and expressing how far away these new tracks are from being recorded.He also stated that they were only a week or so old.The Living End have also announced a small scale Victorian Tour under the name of The Longnecks for early 2008 which will most likely see the introduction of more new tracks.Musical style and influences
Chris Cheney regards 1950's rock 'n' roll as his greatest influence and first musical love, with the band's sound initially based on that.They regarded 1980's Australian rock as an important influence on the band, something the members grew up with and appreciated.The Living End also consider themselves to be a rock 'n' roll band based on punk ethics, previously citing Iggy Pop, The Who and The Jam as bands with whom they share the same ideals, making a social commentary on what's going on around them.Sum 41 guitarist Dave Baksh has suggested that it would be great if he could tour with The Living End, saying that they're all "really good musicians".Collaborations
The Living End have made recordings with many popular bands and artists.At this, their first live concert to Australian's, they performed two tracks from what was their up coming album, as well as performing with Angel's Front man Doc Neeson and "Jingle Bell Rock" with Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue.In December 1998, supporting the German band Die Toten Hosen they played a cover of "Merry Christmas" with them.The Living End performed along side Normie Rowe performing two of Normie's hits "Que Sera Sera" and "Shakin' All Over" at an awards ceremony.In 2005, the band recorded a version of Ashton, Gardner and Dyke's "Resurrection Shuffle" with Jimmy Barnes on his duet album Double Happiness.Brickwalls, contributing the music and backing vocals to "Crossfire"."Evie part 1" at the 2004 Australian Music Industry's ARIA Music Awards.Scott also appeared in the film clip for the track.Awards
