Still Life was an American post-hardcore band originally from Moorpark, California, and then the San Fernando Valley, California. They are credited for helping pioneer the first wave of emo. They started in the late 1980s with the name Monster Club. They changed their name in 1991 after the departure of the original lead singer Rick Rodney who joined the band Strife. They were active until 2003 when all of their instruments were stolen from Chris Pitzel's truck parked on the street in front of their house after a show. Former Members Paul Rauch and David Pitzel have started a new band named Old Ground and continue to use Still Life's label, Sunflower Tribe.
