LOVE LIKE WAR’s Single ‘Leech’ Sucks the Life Out of Music.

Genre: metal.

Location: Wichita, KS-USA.

In Kansas there is no free market for utilities. Different power companies are given a territory that is exclusive to them, allowing them to gouge their consumers as much as they like…and believe me, they do. And the reason I’m explaining this to you is because the stupidity of such a system, and the fact this it exists in Kansas, will prepare you to understand how in the fuck today’s band-also from Kansas-is able to be this brain damaged and still exist.

Love Like War is a 5-piece sports bar metal band from Wichita that on first glance, seems to have their shit together-they have a booking agency, a website, and fans. Of course, that all falls apart as soon as one hears the music.

Hard riffs and grooves that would energize if they weren’t the musical equivalent of whiskey dick weave with lighter, melodic parts that would soothe your soul if they weren’t the musical equivalent of taking a sip of chamomile tea and then discovering it was actually urine,

This particular track starts with an epic guitar intro-that would normally be a good thing, but let’s not forget that Soviet Russia was an epic failure, and honestly Stalin could have studied how these guys ruined an intro here and took some pointers to ruin Russia more efficiently with.

The band writes music in a subtly progressive fashion but let me tell you what’s not subtle-the lameness of this song. Imagine if dad rock was a person, and that person went and snorted bath salts while getting a tequila enema, and you basically have the spitting image of this song, right there.

This song is so confused it needs its own bathroom. Trying to find enjoyment in this song is about as futile as eating soup with a fork. This song tries to hit hard, but it winds up hitting like a nursing home pillow fight. And speaking of nursing homes, I was looking at pictures of these guys and I think they actually did get inspiration from nursing home pillow fights-I mean, they’d have a ringside seat, since they look like they live there.

I guess this means that rock and roll isn’t for the kids anymore. But don’t despair kids, because with bands like this one on the scene, rock and roll really isn’t for anybody anymore.

Well, it appears that this band will be desecrating more stages with their live sound, as they have signed with Wizard Booking Nationwide! Also, they will be featured at Kansas’s first ever YOUR BAND SUCKS live experience at the legendary Kirby’s Beer Store in Wichita on April 13th. They will be sharing the stage with Love Like War, The Merkins, Burn The Gates, and Sin & Scar-and of course, Steve Shagwell, the evening’s “emcee”, who will be roasting the bands live on stage for a complete trainwreck of live music and insult comedy.
