alternative rock, electronic & new wave

Choose life
Groovy rocksongs with distinctive melodies and emotional ballads. Compositions are about love, drugs and rock'n'roll. Songs that are more than a few tunes and rhythms, but to express a feeling of life.

Choose Life sometimes are reminiscent of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oasis and Bush - and sound quite different, because the band can not be determined to any genre. The musicians virtuosic juggle with elements of funk, reggae, ska, hard rock and soft ballads, being woven into a base of solid rock.
