Jason Butler finds balance and clarity in his messages throughout with “City of Champions” leading the way. This song sets the stage as it showcases everything that LetLive stands for and everything the band has become since its conception in 1999; from the dynamic vocal assault layered in social inequality to the aesthetically engaging musicianship which shines throughout the record from beginning to end. "If our instruments had limbs, they'd make love," says Butler, speaking about their music, "and when it gets heavier...like breakdowns, that's when they go from love-making to fucking." With one release already under their belt (Exhaustion, Salt Water And Everything In Between – 2004), LetLive set out to make an unmistakable statement the second time around. It is safe to say that statement has been made loud and clear as this release demands critical listening. It confronts its audience with astounding musicianship while evoking the most fragile emotions through wretched, yet harmonious vocal arrangements. Speak Like You Talk is not just another notch in the collection...it is a movement that should be appreciated and not simply enjoyed. LetLive is Jason Butler (vocals), Christian Johansen (Bass), Ben Sharp (Guitar), Omid Majdi (Guitar), and Adam Castle (Drums). Look for Speak Like You Talk in local Los Angeles based retailers beginning October 25, 2005. The album will be available nationally and internationally through online retailers, www.smartpunk.com and www.downloadpunk.com (digital download store). Press
