David Reilly (May 5, 1971 – October 16, 2005), was the singer and songwriting/production partner in the electro-rock band God Lives Underwater (GLU), signed by Rick Rubin to American Recordings in 1993.^[1]

Life and career

American released GLU's first album, a self-titled EP called GLU, and second album Empty, which spawned minor radio hits "No More Love" (which appeared on the soundtrack to Johnny Mnemonic. The band broke up after releasing a total of four albums. Reilly then moved on to solo work and other projects. With GLU bandmember Jeff Turzo, he produced and remixed for Skinny Puppy, Rob Zombie, and Messiah, and organized and contributed to 1998's For the Masses: A Tribute To Depeche Mode.^[2]

In 2001 Reilly released a solo album consisting of four untitled instrumental tracks under the band name Robot Teen America titled Living In Syn. Each CD was numbered and signed by Reilly and only available through the Internet. In 2002 Reilly started the rock band Fluzee, who released one album titled 7 before breaking up the following year.

June 2004 saw the release of GLU's Up Off The Floor, on Megaforce/Locomotive. Reilly also embarked on a short solo acoustic tour, supported by drummer Benjamin Juul and guitarist David Trusso, in support of his EP Inside (which due to timing issues actually wasn't released until the end of the tour).

2005 was to see Reilly's return to touring in support of the unreleased How Humans R(x) album, but Reilly died unexpectedly at 5:15am on October 16, 2005 from complications of a coma brought on by pain medication for an abscessed tooth.^[3] Tour dates were scheduled at the time of his death, and the album was left unfinished, not to be released until December, 2009 with only 100 physical copies of the album being printed and sold exclusively online. A digital version was released to iTunes and Amazon's MP3store in April 2010.
