Taking the name, Life in Bed off of the magnetic poetry adorning a refrigerator, the group seeks to combine their love of 80's pop icons, The Smiths and The Cure with the more aggressive sounds of the 90's indie guitar explosion while maintaining a fresh approach to highlighting what made these sounds great.
Life in Bed was formed in late 2001 in Pittsburgh by ex-members of Manifold Splendor. The band’s first full length release, Two Point Perspective was released in 2003 on drummer Sean Finn’s Polar Recordings imprint. The release met with positive reviews and the band began regional touring.
2005 brought the release of a 5 song EP. Recorded at H-hour studios by Jason Kirker (Modey Lemon, Pikadori), Exercises for Translation expanded Life in Bed's continued emphasis on melody and dynamic guitar interplay while emphasizing a more mature, focused sound.
Founding member and guitarist, Craig Svitek left the band in March of 2006 and has been replaced with long time Life in Bed supporter and ex- Voice in the Wire guitarist, Steve McMillen.
Life in Bed continues to tour regionally and 2007 sees the release of their second full length record, Passed and Presents. Passed & Presents was also recently licensed to Japanese indie, Moor Works for release in Japan in March of 2008.
July 2008 marked the departure of bassist, Thomas Cipollone who replaced Christopher James in 2007. Ex-Zao bassist, Shawn Koschik has been recruited to take Thomas's place and has been a welcome addition to the Life in Bed roster!
Life in Bed has shared the stage with such great bands as Aloha, Engine Down, Minus the Bear, The Life And Times, Channels, Pilot to Gunner, The Promise Ring, Hey Mercedes, Matt Pond PA, Rahim, Antelope, Rainer Maria, Race For Titles, Appleseed Cast, Trans Am, Don Caballero, The Forms, Cities, Chin Up Chin Up, Aspera, The Six Parts Seven, Maritime, Decibully, Owen, Asobi Seksu, Travis Morrison, Troubled Hubble, The Detachment Kit, New London Fire, Headlights, Adam Franklin of Swervedriver, Bear Hands, Mussels, The Twilight Sad.
