ESSENTIAL LISTENING: MODERN LIFE IS WAR - MY LOVE, MY WAY

Modern Life Is War wasn't around for very long, but their run was highlighted by several great releases. Their debut, My Love, My Way, was probably their strongest effort. It was fast, pissed and heartfelt - the three components that make for a classic hardcore record and was highlighted what may be the band's best song, "By The Sea."

We've been to the edge and we know what it's like to want to die, 
and that's something we won't glorify.
We'll leave those miserable times behind.
How far can I go? I'm rising from the depths of my own hell.
I don't need another tragic tale. I need the strength to walk the other way.
I found conviction in my ever changing mind. I grew up tied down and bleeding on the inside,
but I know I was a victim of my own device, and I want to live to see a brand new life.
