Disciples, welcome to the cult.
ABOUT THE BAND
Livealie is a cathartic movement born from emotional honesty and creative reinvention. Formed by ex-Oceans Ate Alaska frontman James Harrison, the transatlantic four-piece operates seamlessly between the UK and US, blending nostalgic metalcore with post-hardcore ambience and emo sincerity to deliver a visceral yet deeply relatable sonic experience.
Their namesake, a twist on “living a lie” reflects the band’s driving ethos: to reject facades and confront conformity. After a decade as a signed artist, James walked away from the comfort of established success to form Livealie with bassist/vocalist Jordan Corman, guitarist Andrew Robles, and drummer Brandon Lee, channeling years of frustration, introspection, and growth into something raw and uncompromising.
Living in the Static, their independent debut, released on December 27th, 2024; is a 11-track odyssey exploring themes of disconnection, truth-seeking, and self-liberation. Supported by six visually immersive music videos, the album has amassed 2 million Spotify streams—without any label or major industry backing. A powerful statement of intent.
The record’s standout singles each showcase a different facet of the band’s dynamic range. To kick-off the record “Whirlpools” surges with explosive precision and emotional grit and “Disciples” delivers an anthemic yet eerie pulse that nods to the band’s growing cult-like community. While “Smothered,” confronts vulnerability with ethereal tension and a timeless chorus-line, the penultimate track ‘A Liar at Best’ showcases acrobatic clean melodies and commercial flare heard across modern-metal radio waves. Together, these tracks lay the foundation for Livealie’s identity: melancholic, aggressive and adaptable with deeply relatable lyricism.
But Livealie isn’t just about sound. With immersive visuals, subliminal storytelling, and fan-driven experiences like monthly anonymous confession boards, the band cultivates a growing community of followers known as Disciples. Together, they’re building something that fringes on cult-like devotion. With no industry playbook to follow, they’re writing their own—and they’re just getting started.
Critics have already taken notice:
“Pushing the boundaries of what an independent band requires in this age… their ideas are as radical as they are refreshing.”
“From transatlantic members, to friendships forged playing the Vans Warped Tour, their sound is an evocative blend of the UK/US scene.”
“Each song flows with obtuse yet intentional force… a monumental effort in both music and visuals.”“James is an absolute monstrous vocalist with so much versatility. I was so stoked to hear his voice again.”
With roots in two continents but a single, unified vision, Livealie sits at the bleeding edge of modern metalcore—fusing digital-age innovation with genre-rooted emotion. They're poised to become one of the most exciting independent acts of 2025 and beyond.

Future GOALs
Now seeking management, booking and label opportunities.
During the conception of our debut album we outlined plans for the second and third release, with themes, titles and accompanying story already written. The four of us have a common goal and are all aligned on the heights we would like to take Livealie.
For us, our love of the alternative music scene is always the common denominator, but it’s about more than just making sound. Each of us are talented in our own right outside of being seasoned touring musicians. With successful business’ /careers that help to influence and progress the bands capabilities.
We realise that to take Livealie to the next level, we need to build a like-minded team of industry experts around us. While we are proud of what we have accomplished independently, having a positive voice in the right rooms /circles would benefit us greatly.
Our debut release Living in the Static has received such positive peer reviews, it just didn't reach the mass audience we had hoped for with little-to-no press, editorial or marketing spend.
Moving forward we aim to release a deluxe version of the debut album in Q4 2025, with sufficient marketing & pr budgets to give the record the outreach it deserves. This will include a brand new single accompanied by various stripped back /OST versions of the record.
We are already forging plans to record our next full-length album this year, aiming for a Q2/Q3 2026 release. Ideally we would like to support this with major touring and festival opportunities across the US/EU.
