Samuel Jackson & Frank Colucci previously from Viva Brother are also involved in this charismatic creative music project, Lee, Sam and Frank have taken an interesting musical journey i've loved all of their projects that they have been involved in, however this passion and commitment and downright refusal to give up cannot be faultered.

LVLF produce perfection tracks infusing R&B influences and 80's Romantic's, in track 'Heaven' Lee talks about his experience in previous band Viva Brother with the lyrics vividly depicting the worst and best moments in the bands short time together, and in 'Your New Beloved' the lyrics are telling the story how isolating the end of a relationship can be and it does exactly that through dark imagery and symbolism, they collaborated with friend Xaphoon Jones on the track 'The Key'.
Their music and lyrics are passionate, intimate & poetic their experimental infusion creates polished Electro-Pop, they utilize swirling synth pads, flawless vocals and robust precise beats to create a blend of smooth brooding R&B and shimmering pop with more substance than most, even though they have only been around a short time the band's buzz has been growing and growing, they have crafted remixes for The Killers, Neon Trees and Imagine Dragons.
