The Dearloves have only been together for a little over a year but they seem to be getting it right. The band creates some kind of shoegazer-influenced rock and roll where songwriting and energy have priority over the genre’s proverbial wall of sound. The drums and bass are the glue to the at times furious guitars, which produce an instantly classic and somewhat epic indie rock sound. Confident male and female vocals, both full of attitude, alternate from song to song, but this doesn’t take away from the overall band sound. This is definitely a band that deserves to be checked out – you can do so on September 6 at Glasslands.- Kirsten Ferreira
