The Loved Ones are the newest signings to Jade Tree Records. The Jade Tree newsletter has the following to say about the band:
Featuring members of The Curse, Kid Dynamite and Trial by Fire, the three piece has been around since May and already have played with the best and brightest in the scene including The Bouncing Souls, Hot Water Music, Alkaline Trio, The Explosion and None More Black. The band is an explosive mix of punk sensibilities, rock riffs, and raspy vocals. Brian Mcternan (Thrice, Hot Water Music, Strike Anywhere) is slated to produce their CD EP for an early 2005 release.
Seriously, the mp3 below is fucking good. Nice and raspy vocals, sing-along chorus, and very fucking catchy. It’s good and punk, but just a little poppy. Kinda like Kid Dynamite, kinda like the Explosion, kinda like a band I really want to hear more from.
