Life At These Speeds was an emo/hardcore band from Portland, Oregon. Rising from the ashes of the seminal aughties band Arroyo Seco; Life At These Speeds quickly established themselves as a creative powerhouse. Along with Owsla label-mates The Pine, the band represented a return to form for the emo-hardcore scene at the time. LATS had a mature and driven sound akin to 400 Years, Ten Grand and Shotmaker; harkening back to that loud quiet dynamic that mid-90s bands loved so much. I first came across this band digging in the half-price punk records at Turn It Up! in Calgary; I got both the 2004 LP and the Science of Yabra split 12" for 3$ each and I have to say that was one of the best blind purchases I have ever made.
