PRESS
““The Love Ways’ latest song can easily be described as an anthem. A high octane, driving adventure of rock, both classic and modern, gentle, yet full of aggression, easy-going, yet with a decided intention. It’s a blindingly great effort that will leave a lasting mark.””
““It has been quite some time since I felt genuinely excited about an indie rock release, but “Desire Lines” has reignited that longing with its captivating and electrifying performance. With their undeniable energy and raw charisma, The Love Ways has the potential to establish themselves as the next force in a long lineage of talented NYC acts to have taken over the world.””
““Between instrumentalist and songwriter Mark Shreve and vocalist and lyricist James Langlois, the duo have crafted a sound with a sense of rawness and life that many full bands could only dream of, feeling like an evolution of the guitar-rock institutions of the last 20 years like the Foo Fighters and The Strokes.””
