Loveless - "Darling Would You" (2003)

Loveless is a little known indie rock band from Boston that I became acquainted with while working in college radio in 2004. Their debut album Gift To the World came out in late 2003 and consisted of ten tracks of outstanding modern rock. The opener “Go” was power pop perfection and the rocking “Stick To the Girl” has a hook that stays with you for days. Even with all the great upbeat tunes on this album, it’s the mellow one that really stands out and grabs your attention. “Darling Would You” is probably the best song on the record. From the chorus effects on the guitar, to the fuzzed out bass line and the incredibly catchy chorus, it’s hard to understand why Loveless didn’t see more success. Of all the songs I added to the playlist during my time at KXUL, this song was the most asked about on our website, and it seemed nearly every time it was played, someone would call the station wanting to know who it was. We even had a professor begging us for a copy of the CD. Unfortunately Loveless have parted ways and Gift To the World is the only album they ever released. Even though you’ll never get to see them live, I suggest getting this disc if you want to hear some catchy rock songs.
