Living On Universal Denial

Indie rockers Living On Universal Denial, also known as L.O.U.D., are a five-piece who took their name out of a statement for those who believe there’s no absolute reality or truth, only perceptions and opinions.

The band from London and Athens released their first official single ‘We Get Away’ through London-based indie label The Sound Of Everything in April 2018. Now they release ‘Scars’.

Consisting of; KΚ (lead vocals), Simon (drums/percussion), Jim (bass), John (guitars/keyboards/vocals) and Tolis (guitars/vocals), their alt rock/pop sound sways to the likes of Stereophonics, Editors and U2.

Living On Universal Denial infuse electro pop elements with rhythmic guitar rock that give us a familiar yet unique sound. Their new single ‘Scars’ is just that.

The band say it’s a “statement on relationships and how people are bounded by society’s ‘rules’ in their behaviour within marriage and family commitment.”

It features powerful vocals throughout – they entice you into the song for an extra listen – and packed with anthemic choruses.

Having appeared on numerous live stages in the UK and Europe, 2019 is set for a landmark year as they play Camden Rocks Festival in June. - Indie Central Music

Living On Universal Denial may have a dark band name, but their second official single is on the bright side of the spectrum, with it echoing sounds of White Lies and 1980's rock bands. "Scars" has some very strong choruses, bridges and verses - heck the vocals are solid throughout the track and really gripped me from the first bar that he sung. The vocals (oh babby I can't get over them) are backed up with some stadium ready guitars, and with the frantic drums and bass backing it up you can't help but credit the producer and mixer of this song too as no instrument sounds hidden at all here, it's just out and out Living On Universal Denial and no faffing about.

The band say - "We come up with a powerful song that speaks from the heart and not fall into the usual love song thematology of 'boy meets girl and they fall in love' as we think that there's more to it in real life." - Which there definitely is as it's not all simple black and white as the movies suggest.

It really does sound like Living On Universal Denial are on the cusp of something great. - It's All Indie

Indie rockers Living On Universal Denial (L.O.U.D.) based their name on a statement saying that there is no truth or reality but only people’s opinions and thoughts.
They have released their second single called ‘Scars’ a couple of days ago. I liked this song right from the start. With strong vocals and a decent beat I had to listen to it on repeat a few times as I enjoyed it so much. Based on how we are all influenced on our behaviour set on societies norms in regards to family and marriage but we don’t actually need to be. - Music Injection

Living On Universal Denial, is a five piece group from London and Athens, Greece. They’ve played the festival scene throughout Europe and have opened for Explosions In The Sky, making them a group worth talking about. Their newest track, “We Get Away” is a smooth, solid indie rock track that grabs listeners by the ears in its first bars. “We Get Away” infuses electro pop elements and beachy grooves to give it a familiar yet totally unique sound. Its infectious sounds both melodically and vocally are gracious throughout the tune. We catch ourselves singing the chorus all the time in the office this week, and most likely will well into next week… and the next.... - Gas Mask Magazine
