First we give you a taste of summer, via Akasha , now we delight in reminding you of how perpetually stuck in winter we really are. Chicago, by way of Sweden, melodic pop duo Love in October have released a dreamy tour of its snowy homeland in a new video for "Paper Heart." Shot on a Super 8 camera, the duo and a forlorn female companion walk the old streets of Stockholm and hike the mountains around the duo's hometown Solleftea. Get to know the environment the band says inspired its music. [...]

Una cover aiuta (quasi) sempre ad attirare l'attenzione, e quella piccola piccola ma carina che ho trovato nella mail questa mattina è arrivata al momento giusto, in un venerdì di sole dall'inconsueto buonumore. I Love In October , duo di Chicago formato dai fratelli svedesi Widman, prendono un noto singolo di Beast Coast e lo suonano come se fossero in spiaggia di notte, cosa tra l'altro sempre piuttosto appropriata con le canzoni di Bethany Cosentino. I Love in October hanno anche un paio di ep e qualche singolo in free download , fanno indie rock e mettono assieme [...]

The Widman brothers, Erik and Kent, front an indie rock duo from Chicago called Love in October. They're originally from Sweden and I'm all for more Swedish pop from Chicago. Love in October recently released their third EP entitled Love in October II (you can pick it up here among other places). One of the songs off of the EP is Paper Heart . It starts out with a slight grunge vibe and continues to maintain that vibe almost throughout. I think the falsetto is what really draws me in on [...]

Chicago indie rock band Love in October recently wrapped recording on their new EP Love in October II and are offering up the tunes for free on their bandcamp page . Those unfamiliar with the group can expect sounds most similar to Shout Out Louds or maybe even the pop style of Tokyo Police Club. However you want to describe them, you should at least check out this track "Don't Forget" as it's easily my favorite number from the EP. I hope you'll enjoy it too. Or else...

The Sweeps at the Double Door | photo By Audrey Leon Even though all the bands were local, the crowd buzzed with anticipation before the show kicked off last Friday night at the Double Door. While the night was proclaimed an album release party for The Terrible Children , the new full-length from Chicago's power-pop trio The Sweeps , performances from the hard rocking The Streets On Fire and danceable Love In October gave the whole night an feeling of electricity and illustrated everything that is right with [...]

My grandmother loves Erik and Kent Widman, who are brothers and the principal musicians in Love In October . She has no idea who these Minnesotans are, but knows they are Swedish, and that makes her happy. Oh, the Swedes! I tell my friends it's an invasion akin to the 602s UK invasion, but longer lasting and better looking-hey, I can be proud of my heritage. It's kind of unclear where the Widman brothers fit. They are at least of Swedish descent, but have lived in the U.S. long enough to claim both Minneapolis and Chicago home. [...]
The last real musical memory of Love in October that comes to mind was a coffee shop number they put to video for CB in 2008; just harmless, fun, acoustic rock. Shortly after that, brothers Erik and Kent Widman announced that they would be shifting the band's base of operations, swapping the icy tundra of Minneapolis for the equally icy tundra of Chicago (winter in the Midwest is rough no matter where you go). Now they're back with a few new songs, and on first listen of the Love in October [...]
Did a little web-searching on Chicago-by-way-of-Sweden's Love in October and found previous comparisons to a bunch of bands that I'm too old to enjoy (The Plain White T's, Motion City Soundtrack, blink-182). This made me a bit leery of checking out LiO's newest EP, Love in October II. But considering the lack of investment (the EP is available to download for free through Feb. 8), I'm glad I checked it out. While the band's earlier influences have been Alternative Press cover boys in the last 10 years, it's as if Erik and [...]

[ download ] If you're looking for a micro-study on globalization, look no further than Love in October , a band formed by two Swedish brothers who moved to Chicago and rounded out their lineup with members from Mexico, India, and Canada. (Seriously, they're like a mini United Nations unto themselves.) On "Like Nothing Ever Happened," culled from their soon to be released self-titled EP, they confirm the expectation that such diversity leads to a sound that has a lot going on. While the song decidedly uptempo, Love in October does [...]
