After three critically acclaimed solo records, dozens of world tours and TV appearances, Jesse Malin found himself back in New York City questioning his next move. From his days fronting seminal hardcore trio Heart Attack and infamous glam punks D Generation, then seven years on the road as a solo artist, Malin had cultivated a devout fan base. He’d shared stages with everyone from the White Stripes to Counting Crows, the Hold Steady to Lucinda Williams, but felt like he was losing the plot. When Jesse met the producer Ted Hutt one drunken night at a local bar, their talk of making a record fast, loose, and raw, was the beginning of Hutt's quest to create a record that would encompass Malin's roots and evolution — from hardcore thrasher to punk/folk singer-songwriter. Filled with the characters Malin does best — messengers and misanthropes, hipsters and hypocrites — and as always, his constant themes of redemption, nightlife, heartbreak, and survival, Love it to Life was built with desperate optimism that shouts in gang vocals that no matter how bad it gets, you're never alone.
