notes
2006 marks the sixth year since the inception of Bullet Called Life, a rock band hailing from the south side of Chicago. The band is comprised of four guys in their early twenties whose sound, a rich and rhythmic fusion of classic rock and blues, extends well beyond their years drawing influence from the likes of Led Zeppelin, The Who, Black Sabbath, and Pink Floyd. Their contribution to the local music scene delivers a great deal of big city soul and a far-from-amateur interpretation of rock and blues, in contrast to the angst-driven and sometimes self-piteous Emo and Pop-rockery that suburbia often breeds. It's the kind of music you're damn proud to listen to, with hot-blooded solos that command respect and contagious riffs that are sure to stick in your head well after the show is over. Every show displays an obvious mastery of the sound they've developed, and audiences will find themselves screaming for more. Lead singer and guitarist Aaron Hosek pumps out both vocals and guitar lines that are powerful yet melodious, and at all times passionate. In addition to singing backup, Dave Lundeen delivers each note on his bass with pulse-accelerating vigor and enough on-stage energy to rock the crowd all night long. Tom miller adds an ingenious and indispensable flavor to the mix with his tuneful use of the piano, organ, and harmonica which accentuates each song with dynamic flair. Finally, drummer Dave Jodelka holds a commanding presence over his kit as he wildly and flawlessly pounds his drums into submission.
Bullet Called Life's repetoire includes several electrifying original songs and an endless supply of classic rock covers, and their music has knocked on doors both locally and in central Illinois. The band has played at several venues in the Chicagoland area, including The Double Door, The Note, Champ's, O'Malley's, The Big Horse, Tommy's Place, and the Elbo Room;in Dekalb, IL at Otto's; and in Champaign-Urbana,IL at the Iron Post, Canopy Club, and Nargile Lounge. Bullet Called Life has also performed live on WXAV's radio station and they have received airplay from WPGU and WCBU. Their original material has appeared on two compilation albums with Green St. Records, a label based out of the University of Illinois. Bullet Called Life has been a consistent fixture for their albums as well as their live shows, demonstrating their emergence as a feature band in the central Illinois music scene. The members of Bullet Called Life are true rock stars at heart, deserving nothing less than obsessive enthusiasm for their performance, attitude, and style. As a group of genuinely talented musicians who are in this business purely for the love of rock and roll and for their legion of fans, they'll play from dusk till dawn and never get tired of it....and neither will you.

rock and roll is back
author: Pablo WolfeI love this band ever sinc the first time i saw them (by chance), an evening in which they blew the headliner off stage. Fantastic 70' hard rock mixed with some interesting influences like Soundgarden. One of the finest bands in Chicago. Highly reccomend the live show. "The train" is an excercise in pure Deep Purple style early metal while the gutter incorporates delts blues style along with some modern strokes. The whole album blows away the crap your listening to. All BS aside, do your self a favor.
