The Living End are one of the few bands ever to successfully negotiate the chasm between punk rock sensibilities and mainstream success without losing their integrity.
Their 1997 EP Prisoner Of Society/Second Solution quickly became the barometer for musical uprising amongst the youth of the world, catapulting the band into the spotlight, from which they have never strayed far.
Last year saw The Living End celebrate the 25th anniversary of that breakthrough EP, with the band having all but separated themselves from that chaotic side to their nature without ever losing the trust and respect of their fans.
2024 has seen the band perform at a selection of different festivals, all with vastly different demographics yet united by one cause.
Music.
After wowing crowds at the Mundi Mundi Bash recently, The Living End next set their sights on the open sea as part of Rock The Boat 2024 and now find themselves closing out the year as part of Good Things 2024. It is a fitting reward for effort for the hard rocking trio, with frontman Chris Cheney understandably content when HEAVY caught up with him ahead of the first show.Good Things Festival hits Sydney on December 7 before moving to Brisbane for the final show on December 8.
