The Living End is a rockabilly/punk band from Melbourne,Australia.
Chris(the lead singer) and Scott(bass player) went to school together at Wheelers Hill Secondary College in Melbourne. Scott originally played piano but Chris got him into rockabilly and got him to learn double bass.
The original band was Chris Cheney-lead guitar/lead vocals, Scott Owens-upright bass/vocals, and Joey Piripitzy-drums. This continued until just after the recording of "It's for Your Own Good", when they replaced Joey with Travis Drempsey. Joey moved to a band called H Block, who is stongly supported by The Living End.
The Living End now has six releases out. Probably the biggest release was thier self titled album. It had three previously released songs(Second Solution, Save the Day, and Prisioner of Society) plus 11 more original songs. It was the most popular album in the US as well. Thier next release, Roll On, came out 2001 which also featured some pretty good songs. And now recently they have just brought out another great one by the name of modern artillery which I believe is almost, if not better than their self-titled album.
