Love Like Fire / Facebook Music Blogs App

November 12, 2007

I was just recently introduced to San Fransico indie rock up-and-comers Love Like Fire through the song “From A Tower”, an endearing power-pop group that falls somewhere in between Rilo Kiley and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. After listening a number of times to “From A Tower” I found out that the band made more songs (whoa!) and they were also great (Yesss!). In fact, I think after listening to “S.O.S.” and “Unlighted Shadow” they’ve become my favorites from the band. For some reason the band is unsigned, but they seem to be doing well for themselves DIY-wise as I’ve seen the band featured on a few notable blogs.

Love Like Fire has a great dynamic going: guitar riffs with equal amounts of crunch and buzz, rolling drums, and strong, passionate vocals from Ann Yu. You can hear a strong influence from new wave bands like The Cure and Siouxe and the Banshees in their songs. From what I’ve heard, the band absoutely kills live so if you’re on the west coast check them out sometime and hopefully for the rest of us they’ll schedule some midwest/east coast dates very soon. Until then, You should definitely download all these tracks and listen to them.

Thanks to everyone who’s joined this blog’s offical Facebook group. It’s almost at 200 members which I think is pretty cool. Another way you can support this blog, or any music blog, or just help spread music that you like is by adding the new Music Blogs Facebook App created by the nice folks at Yahoo. Once you do you can stream music from any music blog of your choice on your Facebook Profile. I realize that no one likes it when you fill your Profile up with a bunch of crap, but I think you’ll find that this App is a keeper. Give it a try by clicking here.

Also, the Music For Kids Who Can’t Read Good group wall has been a bit deserted lately, so why don’t you shake things up a little by posting your top 5 albums of the 2007 for everyone to see.
