Lay It On the Line are a hardcore band from South London, England. ![]() Multiple members singing and writing lyrics gives a little something extra, not that the band wouldn't have been great with just Leigh singing. All of it with thought and explanation - an insight into the words and thoughts that are just as heavy (if not more so) than the music they are playing. From self-abuse to the impacts of illicit drugs (and discussion of the lengths that governments have been willing to go to in order to test out new drugs on the poor and the resulting impacts), sexual abuse, consumer culture, the consequences of convenience, the com-modification of independent and thought provoking music sounds/scenes, and much more. ![]() They covered topics that encompass just about every aspect of human emotion, self-reflection, and dealing with life itself, as a whole. ![]() To me, that speaks far more to what this band meant to me (and many others). The last song that the Assistant released, "I Have A Name", from the split with Takaru & This Ship Will Sink, states that the Assistant, as a band, was about standing up for what you believe in.
