Living Things were an American punk rock band from St. Louis, Missouri. The band consisted of the brothers Lillian Berlin (vocals/guitar), Eve Berlin (bass) and Bosh Berlin (drums); plus Cory Becker (guitar).
Brothers Lillian Berlin (born Lawrence Berlin Rothman), Eve Berlin (born Justin Yves Rothman and sometimes known as Yves Berlin), and Bosh Berlin (born Joshua Rothman) grew up in the suburbs of St. Louis. Future Living Things guitarist Cory Becker was a childhood friend. In the early 2000s the band had Steve Albini record their first album titled A.D.H.D. and released it on their own Ozark Mountain Blood label. The album gained the attention of many record labels, and the band eventually signed with Dreamworks Records.
Living Things released their critically acclaimed major-label debut album Ahead of the Lions in 2005. Produced by Steve Albini, the album ranked #42 on Rolling Stone magazine's top 50 albums of the year and #31 on Spin Magazine's top 40 albums of the year. The single "Bom Bom Bom" reached Billboard's US Modern Rock and US Mainstream Rock charts. The band released their next critically acclaimed album Habeas Corpus in 2009 but claimed that their preferred version of the album had been vetoed by the record company. Reportedly, two albums worth of material recorded during the interim remains unreleased. In 2010 Lillian Berlin composed the original score for The Runaways, starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
