Life Without Buildings

Life Without Buildings were a Glasgow-based band formed in 1999 and active until 2002. Their music combined angular, post-punk-influenced guitar lines and propulsive, tightly wound rhythms with a distinctive talk-sung vocal style marked by rapid, conversational phrasing and abrupt melodic shifts. They are associated with the early 2000s UK indie rock scene and are often noted for a concise recorded output and an energetic, immediate approach to performance and songwriting.
