Power pop group Lovers Drugs has just wrapped up a West Coast tour and will soon be back gracing the stages of LA, starting with a show at the Satellite on June 28th. The 3-piece group is a more genuine version of bands like the Arctic Monkeys and Hot Hot Heat, and reminiscent of the boisterous fun that OK Go is well-known for. Songs like "Drift Off" and "You Don’t Know You" are witty and playful, making it hard not to smile. For the former, the band released a video that pays homage to ’80s culture, focusing on the decade’s beloved video games. The story is centered around the 1982 Video Game World Championships and is full of amusing characters and suspenseful competition. While Lover Drugs certainly knows how to have fun, the members can also belt out a heartfelt love song. "Boys With Money" and "Mood Ring" are more on the mellow side, but have a lasting impression. The unchanging factors throughout the album are bright guitars and a crisp sound that can make anyone dance. – Karla Hernández
