Lovedrug Matches up with Edward Scissorhands?.......2007-04-14

Hey,

I just wanted to give you the scoop that I was talking to some of the guys from the fairly popular indie rock band Lovedrug and they mentioned that their album is based on the tim burton movie Edward Scissorhands and that their music fits up to the movie perfectly. Here is the kicker though...it matches up best when the cd/ipod is on shuffle. They mentioned that you can even better the experience by turning on repeat so it plays for the whole movie. That's how perfect it is. I think the album is called everything starts where it ends. It's their new one.

I tried it and it did work, weirdly enough :)

Thought it was kind of cool so I wanted to share....

side effects of the drug are pleasurable.......2006-11-08

I love this bands sound. Great vocals, and they have a great sense of melody.
I am very glad to have found out about this band (actually two years after the release) they really are a fresh breath of air in the indie scene. Blackout really stands out for me, because of the haunting imagery and sound. I guess I'd place them in the indie-ambient-pop category.

Hauntingly Perfect Tales .......2006-09-08

How can you describe something that makes you feel so at ease, then want to kill everything in the world, then want to fall in love with an angel? This album is so intense with metaphors with the most amazing music to match.

Everyone should own this album. Plus the guys in the band are super nice, which makes it definately worth going to a show or two.

I have yet to share this cd with a friend and have them say they don't like it. So, i challenge you to listen, and try to feel nothing.

Fascinating.......2006-04-22

I saw these guys live in Maryville, Mo. The vocal delivery is simply unique, although it does remind me somewhat of Filter, a similarity that I also heard on many of the heavier songs (especially Pandamoranda, which felt it could be lifted straight off Filter's Short Bus) but Lovedrug dips down into soft, acoustic performances with an ease and beauty of few bands. A certain gothic sensibility pervades the whole thing, as it drips with this cool, strange blackness.

So, I like their sound, and the lyrics have a compelling, Radiohead like weirdness to them, but in actual technical abilities I can't rate them in the top ten. Also, for me they got a little bit old once the novelty wore off.

Simply soothing........2006-03-09

Quite possibly one of the better bands out there, and Pretend You're Alive certainly doesn't disappoint. One song after another will get you hooked (get it? Drug? Hooked. Awful pun.) and it is certainly one of the most talked about Indie albums out there in recent years, and with good reason.
