The term “Living End” has new meaning for contemporary pop rockers Cubic Feet, who have discovered a bizarre connection to the recent death of Al-Queda terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden. Ten years ago, the East Coast-based rockers had the misfortune to have their album Superconnector released on 9/11, a day when new music was far from everyone’s thoughts.

A decade later, the rockers found themselves in another serendipitous situation when United States Navy SEALs had killed the terrorist mastermind just as Cubic Feet was returning to the airwaves with their new single, aptly named “Living End.” The song is currently gaining spins on numerous national radio outlets such as WEHM-FM in Long Island, NY; WFIV-FM in Knoxville, Tenn.; KBHR in Big Bear City, Calif.; KWYS in Idaho Falls, Idaho; KXRA in Alexandria, Minn.; WJHS in Fort Wayne, Ind.; and WCTG in Chincoteague, Va.

“What are the chances?” says the band’s frontman Mark Davison. “Our album was set for release the same day one of the most tragic events in U.S. history took place. Then ten years later to find out bin Laden was caught just as we return to radio….now that is a crazy coincidence.”

The mid-tempo rootsy blues track is on the band’s new (and clairvoyant-titled) album, The Living End: then and now. The specially-priced double-disc set features a 13-track “Best Of” collection from Cubic Feet’s four previous albums, along with a bonus disc including eight new songs.

No stranger to irony, the peace-minded Davison also released the album Make Waves Not War in 2009 with his other band Nuke The Soup, whose sound he describes as “looser, with more of an island surf and skiing vibe.” A common thread on Davison’s music is veteran producer Pete Solley (Oingo Boingo, The Romantics).

The Baltimore-area based Davison will debut The Living End – then and now at the NON-COMM Convention in Wilmington, a gathering of noncommercial radio stations (mostly Triple AAA) May 19-21.
