Given Life
The band brought in producer Fred Archambault (Avenged Sevenfold, Deftones, The Confession) for the recording sessions on their new self-titled CD. Regarding the new lead single “Can’t Wait to be You” —It’s a sarcastic statement directed at those who shall remain nameless who’ve achieved success via ill gotten gains, stepping on the little people. After all, you reap what you sew.” — Ryan Holmes, Vocalist for Given Life— April 26, 2011 9:10 a.m.

Local bands Given Life and Internationally famed rockers, Cage9, have committed themselves to raising $10,000 in charitable donations to help recover and rebuild the lives of the victims and families involved in the October fatal crash involving the Saddletramps Motorcycle Club. Given Life is a Southern California based, progressive hard rock group. They have written 40 original songs together with 12 recorded on their original recording titled ‘These Days’. The band brought in producer Fred Archambault (Avenged Sevenfold, Deftones, The Confession) for the recording sessions on their new self-titled CD. Regarding the new lead single “Can’t Wait to be You” —It’s a sarcastic statement directed at those who shall remain nameless who’ve achieved success via ill gotten gains, stepping on the little people. After all, you reap what you sew.” — Ryan Holmes, Vocalist for Given Life “Given Life has a very hard hitting, high energy rock sound that reminds me of Saliva and Static X. His voice and the way they play remind me tremendously of TOOL. If old school metal (and not talking to you people who think Poison was metal) is your bag and the current scene is something you look toward then I would really have to suggest checking out Given Life. If I have to rank it I'll have to give it a very solid 9.5/10”. — Michael Johnson of HOT INDIE NEWS .com Cage9 opens up for Ozzy Osbourne at the Figali Convention Center in Panama, this week.— April 26, 2011 8:18 a.m.
