Love In October

HQ: Minneapolis, MN NOW PLAYING: Pontus, The Devil And Me THE STORY SO FAR: Brothers Erik (vocals, guitar, synthesizer) and Kent (bass, synthesizer) Widman relocated to Minneapolis after growing up in Sweden, bringing a piece of home along. "[In Sweden] we learned super-secret Swedish music theory, which has shaped the sound of Love In October," hints Erik. What exactly is that sound? Think synth-embellished indie-pop with smart songwriting a la fellow Minnesotans Motion City Soundtrack. WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW 'EM: Love In October have piled up more accolades than we can list. Aside from recording their debut EP, Words Of Sound, with producer Ed Rose (MCS, Blackpool Lights), the band's video for "A Day In The Life Of" landed on mtvU and VH1's VSpot. Ryan Pope (Get Up Kids) even recorded drums for their upcoming full-length. The best part? LIO have the talent to back it up. "Each band member can play [everyone else's] respective instruments," says Erik, "and we often trade instruments when playing live." [Rachel Lux] YOU LIKE?
