The Living Tombstone has been dubbed “the internet’s biggest gaming band” - (NME) “TLT” as they are known to their legion of fans, are the duo Yoav Landau and Sam Haft. Having created and released music for the last 15 years, they have amassed 9 million YouTube subscribers, and their music has achieved over 70 billion streams across platforms.
