The Livid

THE LIVID is a high-energy four piece rock band from Mississauga, Ontario. The band was formed in January 1997, when four high school freshmen decided to jam to some cover tunes in their drummer's basement. After winning several competitions and spending some time at a local studio, The Livid released their debut album, King of the Castle, in October 2000. The Livid returned to the studio to record more tracks in 2001. So Fear of Fading was released in the summer of 2002. Over the span of six months, however, The Livid was destined to lose all of its founding members with the exception of guitar player and songwriter Chris Schembri. Over the next months, The Livid was reformed, with new members Adam Benning (drums), Rob Linschoten (bass) and Justin Humes (vocals). After a lengthy period of writing and recording, the new lineup released their first record (The Livid's third record), "The Ambition Within" on the 25th of September, 2004. In the summer of 2005, The Livid thought it would be best if they packed things in and moved on with life without the "band". Each member taking a hiatus and focusing on other aspects of life. But in February of 2006, they found themselves wondering what it would be like to get together and jam some newer songs just for fun. So they did. It was amazing. In March 2006, The Livid will head back into the studio to continue with what they love, which is making music that they can listen to while driving in their cars. And if other people like it, it makes it all the more worth while. Stay tuned for more boring stuff to read. Rock n Roll...
