Love Raid sounds like a band about to blow up in Montreal with their tight indie-pop sound that is not too poppy, and not too dreary. The music rests eloquently in the heart of any listener, not being too anxious or urgent to cause any sensory overload. Don't get that quote wrong though, as they allow you to swing back and forth between the memories that might rest in the nooks of your brain. They can easily be compared to Indie/Rock bands like Arcade Fire, Stars, but also (in songs like Bike Ride and Spring Shit) to the bubble that's bursting with soft spoken genuine Pop bands, Feist and Broken Social Scene. Hopefully they stay here in Chicago, as all of the aforementioned bands reside in Canada, because Love Raid is offering some of the most authentic music this side of the U.S/Canada border.
