About this listen
On paper, Lowlives had a spectacular 2024, releasing their debut album 'FREAKING OUT,' going on tour with Alkaline Trio and performing at Download festival. But, as lead singer/guitarist Lee Downer puts it, they also "fuckin' ate shit."
Downer (ex-The Defiled) and drummer Luke Johnson (ex-Lostprophets) were music industry veterans by the time they formed Lowlives, which is a fancy way of saying they'd been burned more times than they could count. So it makes sense that the minute they stopped caring about other people's ideas and started doing things on their own terms, big things started happening.
On the latest episode of 'Top of the Hill,' Downer and Johnson talk about the long, hard road to releasing 'FREAKING OUT,' their trial-by-fire debut U.K. tour and why they just can't quit playing back-breaking (and bank-breaking) vintage amps.
