Love is in the air. Or wait, maybe that was last week on Feb. 14—a day for chocolate, cards, and beautifully wrapped presents? Oh, and your signficant other. But don’t fret, love is still in the neighborhood, only this time it's in the form of a band. Which band? The Love Language, of course! The trials and tribulations of frontman Stuart McLamb explicated through heartfelt songs about love’s high and lows. There’s no sappy nostalgia or over dramatic love metaphors that have a man singing so hard that he’s sure to rupture a disc. No, these are just raw lyrics that beautifully tell the complicated story that love develops. With surging drum rhythms and lo-fi guitar solos, The Love Language gives a catchy beat that only leaves you humming along. Some of their standout tunes?
On tour with The Love Language is the brainchild of Michael Benjamin Lerner, Telekinesis. A slightly faster tempo, with songs that talk about the moments that can stay with you, this is as infectious as The Love Language. Here’s my pick from them:
The Love Language and Telekinesis perform at The Sail Inn in Tempe, AZ on Feb. 26.
