Still Life: Music, Ethics, Brotherhood
Still Life Records was born in 2003 from the hands and hearts of two friends, Luca and Francesco. We weren’t chasing trends or money, we were chasing meaning. Raised in the hardcore scene and shaped by straight edge and vegan ethics, we believed music was a stance, a responsibility, a way to live without compromise.
For years, we poured ourselves into every release, every show, every connection, building a network of friendship, respect, and shared ideals. Still Life was never just a label: it was brotherhood, DIY spirit, and passion, a space where honesty and integrity came before comfort or profit.
After years of silence and the loss of Francesco, Still Life rises again in 2026. Not as nostalgia, but as a promise: to keep music honest, ethical, uncompromising, and full of meaning.
Still Here. Still True.
