hailing from California's very own East Bay, Mister Loveless are bringing back post-punk gloom like Interpol and Editors did before them. with lyrics contemplating youth and age, their lead singer comes off as wise as a non-senile old person, with an addictively scratchy voice to match. having recently replaced their drummer, the band is still honing their sound; but rest assured, they are heading in the right direction.
current lineup:
Rob Miller - Vocals/Guitars
Sean Gaffney - Guitars/Backup Vocals
Charlie Koliha - Bass Guitar
Nick Clark - Drums
their Two Words EP is an interesting change of pace from other indie bands that rely too heavily on "soaring harmonies" or "melodic bliss". that transcendent shit doesn't fair well with me. I like rock music, pure and simple. the band's "Good Story" has been humming in my head all week. I think it's their best track, so listen below:
