Live Not on Evil

Live Not on Evil is a dark, guitar-heavy organization whose haunting yet melodic punk is often compared to everything from early Misfits, to Christian Death, to The Damned. The band played its first show at The Upstage in Philadelphia, PA on December 10th, 1999, since which time they've shared bills with underground greats like Foetus, Trance to the Sun, Penis Flytrap and the Dead Kennedys.

Since the release of their 2001 debut CD, "Lucky Stiff," the band has landed rave reviews throughout the underground press as well as radio and online airplay around the world. Founding members Rob Winfelder and John Begley continued performing and promoting the band through various lineup changes until arriving at the permanent additions of Norm Alger on guitar, Eric Sauls on drums, and most recently Kevin Person on bass.

The band released a long-awaited follow-up CD, "Next Time Nail it Shut" through SINister Records in the Fall of 2004. Deathrock fans will recognize Live Not on Evil from their performance at 2004's and 2005's annual “Drop Dead Festival” in NYC, alongside such artists as The Empire Hideous, Bella Morte and The Brides.
