“Golden Age” is the first track on Live Earth, and the confident guitar work that opens up the album will immediately ensnare listeners. While the presence of a nearly six minute track may be a hard hurdle for some bands to hop, Earth & The Next Society craft a song that is as solid-sounding as any studio recording while capturing some of the unique allure that is present in a live setting. “The Art of Believing” is a track that furthers this sound, with a live crowd perfectly highlighting the band’s strengths. The progressive metal guitar lines open up to a tremendously emotive set of vocals. The aforementioned vocals do more than just lay out the track’s narrative.

All I have to say is OHHHH YEAHHHH!!! I was supplied five tracks which is only about half of what you can expect to hear on their debut record ‘Live Earth’. Let me tell you though that Earth and the Next Society still blew me away! Their energy & force is second to none!

Earth and the Next Society's positive messages and melodic rock arrangements on 'Live Earth' are simply powerful.
The saying that 'the pen is mightier than the sword' has certainly proved truthful throughout history. In Earth and the Next Society's official biography, the band have wrapped themselves around the broader sense of history and the social changes happening around the globe. Whether the news is turned to CNN's coverage of the Egyptian government overthrow or the European financial crisis, this band seems to insert itself onto this broad spectrum. In the CD Live Earth, the lyrics and energy pouring out is simply powerful.

Bio
Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter Michael Shields birthed the idea of "Earth and the Next Society" as a platform of expression focused on the evolutionary times that currently face humanity. As the concept began to gain momentum it in itself brought Shields along with Keyboardist Tom McMillian, Drummer Dave Bedell and Bassist Jimmy Mack on a journey that ultimately merges the many inspirations associated with the Golden Age of Rock music and beyond with the current Rubicon that faces humanity where consciousness and reality are concerned. The influences and comparisons can be made throughout much of the classic rock paradigm. Frampton, Led Zeppelin, U2, Pink Floyd, Cream, Hendrix, SRV and much, much more.
Its no great secret when you step outside the parameters of your daily existence and view the progression of humanity and consciousness over a broader period of time, that we have been in a period of escalation where perception, society, reality and consciousness are concerned. Consider what humanity has experienced over the past 100 years or so as compared to the previous 2000. its unprecedented. It continues to gain speed...where do we contend it is heading? Clearly we are reaching a moment where we shall see the dawn of new society. We wish to be among those carrying the torch, forging a path for our children....join us so that we may grow the tribes and masses through music and many other means to create "Earth and the Next Society."
