Life of Pi combines the high-energy song delivery of punk and hard rock with melody-centered pop sensibilities; tight, very original, and yet at the same time, instantly catchy songs. Hook-centered tunes with angles. Based in Tampa, Florida, formed in 2003, the foursome independently released their debut LP, Sunrise with Seamonsters, in July 2003 as well as a 3 song EP in May 2004. Their second LP, Pyrrhic Victory, was released in early 2005. The album "Genuine Fake" is due late Summer/early Fall 2009.
Reviews for Pyrrhic Victory:
***"...Fragile guitar lines float in and out of the minimal verses, building to an oceanic chorus highlighted by creative harmonies. It should be in regular rotation on every FM station in the country." - Scott Harrell. Weekly Planet Best of the Bay Issue. 2005.
*** ". This album is as much a history lesson as it is a testament to how good rock used to be. . . it has me thinking, which is the corner stone of a great album " - The Independent Anthem / August 12, 2005.

Pyrrhus was king of the Hellenistic kingdom of Epirus. In 281 BC Tarentum in southern Italy asked his assisstance against Rome. Pyrrhus crossed to Italy with 25,000 men and 20 elephants. He tried to create a kingdom of Sicily and lower Italy, but his many victories against Rome were so costly that he had to withdraw from Italy. His remark 'Another such victory and I shall be ruined.'
