Love Gang Enter Studio to Record Full-Length; New Demo Posted
I don’t know much about the impending debut album from Denver, Colorado, rock traditionalists Love Gang beyond the generalities. It’s their first record. They hit a friend’s home studio to begin the recording process this past weekend and got the basic tracks done. As to particulars in terms of what the album’s called, when it will be out, who’s doing the releasing — i.e. the band themselves or a label — I don’t know. So if you’re wondering why I’d post about something with such an utter lack of news to go on, it’s because there’s a song up. And music is always more important.
The track is called “Break Free” and it’s a five-minute classically-styled riffer recorded presumably live at the four-piece’s practice space. More so than on their 2016 self-titled EP (review here), one can hear metallic roots in the riffing and the gruff vocals, kind of tapping into that moment circa 1975-1977 when heavy rock started to become heavy metal and the NWOBHM began to bubble under the surface. It’s raw — it’s a practice space recording, so duh — but has an appeal through that as well, so seemed well worth sharing, not the least for the shredding solo.
I’ll keep you posted when I hopefully hear more about Love Gang‘s full-length debut coming out. Could be a while, could be next week, but I’m at least glad to know it’s happening and progress is being made. Whenever they arrive, the results will be welcome.
