Living Things are a rock band from St. Louis featuring brothers Lillian (guitar/vox), Eve (bass), and Bosh Berlin (drums), and beginning in 2005, Cory Becker (guitar). The brothers' real names are Lawrence, Yves, and Josh, respectively. Their songs are politically driven lyrically (especially where 9/11 and the Iraqi War are concerned) and their sound is described as[who?] loud and in your face, but heartfelt.

Living Things released three albums as a trio before adding Becker to release Ahead of the Lions on Jive Records in 2005, the first single of which (Bom Bom Bom) was used in advertising for iTunes phones and was released as a free download from the iTunes Music Store. This single was also featured on season 3 of Fox's The O.C.
