Featured Artist: Love in October
The fact that that Love In October has already been nominated for an MtvU Best Music On Campus Woodie, have been a Paste video of the day, and more and more people are finding their catalog of fun, home made movies speaks to something great about this band: they have their fingers in a little bit of everything artistic. Their debut full- length, Pontus, The Devil, and Me, is set to be unleashed January 22, 2008, and showcases LiO’s ability to diversify all the subgenres found in pop.
“It doesn’t bother me to say that we’re a Swedish pop rock band, actually it bothers me more to be called a ‘band’ because that limits you to the scope of music. I see LiO venturing into other artistic areas over the years. I want us to be known as creators, not musicians.” - frontman Erik Widman
"We loves this we do, with the pop heart of the Posies, the tight angular rocking of The Get Up Kids and the sort of summery feeling which means we’ll be hearing A LOT more from these guys! One’s to watch…" - EP of the month, www.subba-cultcha.com
I put these tracks on this morning and was a nice little wake-up with the morning coffee. Upbeat, but delicate, like breakfast music should be.
