Spark of Life are prepping to released Plagued By The Human Condition, the post-hardcore band from southern California's second LP. The new record comes out on May 30 on New Age Records.

The band just shared a cover of That Dog's "Never Say Never," featuring friend of the band and Portlandia star Fred Armisen on drums.

“Working on a That Dog cover with Fred was awesome! Fred is a true professional and a great friend of the band. We both had a mutual fondness for That Dog, so it just made sense when we decided to cover Never Say Never to have Fred come play on it. I love that we did this song, because it is out of character for the band, and I think it is going to catch some people off guard,” says Steve Jennings of the band.

The band released their debut, Promises Made Promises Kept in 2003 (Lorelei Records).
