The Biography > 2002
What is a band if not a family of magicians working together simultaneously to create a force of combined molecule and emotion to invoke a vivid understanding of dominating the human soul with sound; a reticent call, if you will, to the “average” listener to gather his or her personal belongings at a given moment, drop everything else, and follow with a curious ear. Expectations are high and trials are rigorous, but let us reach the higher elevation of intellectualism and productivity so that we might achieve and fail together. There are no “fans” only participants. So, join us or just get on with the rest of your life.
     Lovedrug, the band, is comprised of a small group of humans, not entirely unlike yourself, who in unsuccessful search of fulfilling the void, decided to take action against the monster and fill it with the beloved sounds of music. Your creators are as follows:

• Michael Shepard - supplies the weird voice and guitar wanderings with occasional shining moments in keys.

• Adam Ladd - provides the thick underbelly genius of underappreciated bass mastering and percussion extraordinar.  

• Matt Bentley - brings tragically beautiful guitar tricks and formations to the table along with a sparkly voice from beyond.

• Joas Miller – extends forth an array of extremely loud and precise drumming with the multidimensional talent of playing sad keyboard parts and singing all at the same time.

     Lovedrug, the band, has been together for 6 months but has existed since the beginning of time. All of its members have been playing music in bands since they were in the womb. Lovedrug recently finished recording a five song EP due for independent release in August 2002. Lovedrug is currently looking for label representation and a booking agent.

>I was hiking alone in northern Greenland once when the Yeti asked me, “Yxfer^hyfgi ghtyr wytgth th roun?”(What the hell do they sound like?) to which I responded:  Lovedrug is a prolific, icy hot rock band with enough wit and art to be considered indie yet with enough marketability and prouise to battle that of an arena art rock reputation. Their aura is loud and soft, cute and evil, calm and angry surrounded by rhythm and hugeness that is uncompromised by the occasional humorous anecdote and awkward silence that immediately proceeds. In summary, they’re quite something, I assure you.<
