The Movielife are vocalist Vinnie Caruana, ba**ist Phil Navetta, guitarist Brandon Reilly, drummer Evan Baken, and guitarist Dan Navetta. Forming on Long Island in 1997, the punk revivalist, hardcore-influenced quintet soon went from basement shows to self-releasing its first LP, It's Go Time. A heavy tour load followed, further spreading the word. This Time Next Year was then issued in late 2000 through Revelation, but while on tour to support the record, the Movielife's van crashed, causing minor injuries and mental anguish. The band rallied hard, touring with New Found Glory and Gla**jaw in the process. In 2001, the Movielife signed to Drive -Thru Records and issued the Movielife Has a Gambling Problem EP, which was tinged with a more punk-pop sound in line with that label's guiding principal. Two years later, Forty Hour Train Back to Penn appeared and the Movielife again set out on tour in support of the effort. However, in September 2003, a note on the band's website revealed that the Movielife had decided to break up. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
