As a genre grows increasingly homogenous, it seems less and less likely for a band to break free of its safe orbit to try and do something different. Even a nebulous genre like post-hardcore that was initially so diverse can become formulaic given enough time. That's why it's so refreshing when a band comes along that's willing to mix it up, as is the case with Letlive and their third album, Fake History. Originally released in 2010 on Tragic Hero and reissued (with a few bonus tracks) in 2011 on Epitaph, the album shows that Letlive are easily able to break away from the rest of the pack with an album that's both frantic and sprawling.
