Modern Life Is War
Modern Life Is War emerged from Marshalltown, Iowa, in the early 2000s as a powerhouse of raw, emotionally charged hardcore punk. Known for blending gritty Midwest spirit with introspective lyrics about blue-collar struggles and existential angst, they became torchbearers of the "heartland hardcore" sound. Their landmark 2005 album *Witness* (later remastered) remains a genre classic, while later releases like *Fever Hunting* (2013) and *Midnight In America* (2017) showed their evolution without losing their signature urgency. The band’s recent *Tribulation Worksongs* EPs capture their DIY ethos, offering stripped-down recordings that feel like basement-show revelations. After a hiatus in the late 2000s, their reunion reignited their passionate fanbase, cementing their status as underground icons who turn personal turmoil into cathartic anthems.
