The V8 Love Affair

"High-Energy Led-Sled rock n' roll with a side order of melodic, man". The V8 Love Affair isn’t here to get you to vote or to rescue you from self-destruction, but they will inspire you – to get off your ass and rock. Their sound is stick-to-your ribs heavy, but what saves them from falling into any genre is a volatile energy juxtaposed with pop sensibility. V8LA writes songs that make you want to simultaneously smash something and sing along like a number-one fan. It’s not clear which came first, the obsession with rock music, bad girls or muscle cars, but the formula creates a synergy that cannot be denied. Their sound is grounded in the classic rock sensibility of bands like Zeppelin and Queen, but drops hints of unpredictable noise reminiscent of Shudder to Think. But they've evolved beyond inspiration and charged in to shake the gates of rock royalty. Their official debut release, Sin All Over the Road, captures the high energy of their live shows complete with snarling guitar, bravado, and at times, a sense of sarcasm. Lyrically, the EP reads like a love note to a GTO, and it's no joke. The V8LA have spent eight years refining a purer strain of rock, so tighten your bootstraps kid, The V8 Love Affair's gonna rock you stupid.
