In support of brand new album WILD BLOOD (released March 6, 2012), alternative-rock outfit LOVEDRUG will headline the USA, including a stop at Someday Lounge in Portland, OR on May 16th, 2012. You may also catch Lovedrug playing an in-store at Music Millennium on May 15th at 6pm. The band will also appear at the High Dive in Seattle on 5/19 and Kimo’s in Richland on 5/20.
Developing through the ins-and-outs of label deals (indie and major), selling 80k+ of 3 previous albums, and touring 750+ dates in both US and abroad, Lovedrug have matured into a band capable making the hopeful, anthemic WILD BLOOD. Recorded entirely live and to 2” analog tape with Paul Moak in Nashville, the album captures not just a phenomenal live band with world-beating songs, but a group that has drawn from their experiences in the way that gives great rock bands their ballast.
“WILD BLOOD is the poster child for what we want to be and what we want to give to people with our music,’ says lead singer Michael Shepard. ‘It’s about not giving up, overcoming the odds, and beating back the bully, both in ourselves and around us.”
– Entertainment Weekly – “70’s guitar-rock grandeur (meets) pre-weird Radiohead”
- Wounded Jukebox - “Want to keep repeating this song”
- PASTE - “Dark and lovely, addictive as the band’s name suggests.”
- Music Without Labels - “Evocative lyrics with a danceable, clap-along rhythm…gorgeous”
- L.I.F.E. Press - “Indie songs with sufficient appeal to subvert the mainstream, a true rock band in live-to-analog-tape vein”
