MODERN LIFE IS WAR Drop Ferocious New Single “Bloodsport” Ahead of First Album in 12 Years

Modern Life Is War have unleashed “Bloodsport,” the third single from their upcoming record Life On The Moon. It’s been over a decade since the Iowa hardcore legends last delivered a full-length, and this latest track proves their fire still burns.

Frontman Jeff Eaton says the song’s opening riff “rides on the dystopian Dead Kennedys’ violent wave,” with his vocals striking like a match to gasoline. Written in one furious late-night session, Eaton kept the lyrics raw and uncompromising—turning rage into a rallying cry for art, kindness, and community, and a stand against hate “violently only if necessary.”

The full album arrives September 5th via Deathwish Inc. and Iodine Recordings. The band will also embark on a fall run, including shows marking 20 years of their seminal sophomore LP Witness.
