Like a story from the silver screen, it is not often you hear about two brothers traveling halfway around the world, leaving their family and friends, to fulfill a common dream. In the summer of 2006, this fairytale began in Minneapolis, Minnesota when the Swedish Widman brothers traveled across the ocean, fused their Swedish pop with Midwestern indie-rock, and created Love in October. Fans describe LiO as "Motion City Soundtrack meets Ok Go." Their sound is highlighted by aggressive drums and melodic pop hooks, but most notably Erik's versatile voice. Beyond the music, Love in October's unconventional style can only be defined as eclectic, with live shows containing not only music, but also hilarious improv Broadway theater skits and occasional retro dance moves. In November 2006, they recorded with maverick indie-rock producer Ed Rose (Motion City Soundtrack, The Get Up Kids, Puddle of Mud) at Black Lodge Recording Studio in Kansas to create their debut EP, Words of Sound. The EP is vignettes from everyday life captured in music. In the EP title track, Erik sings "I'll write this down in words of sound, and sing a photograph of who we are". From the fast melodic hit "A Day in the Life Of" to the melodramatic and epic ballad "Don't Ask Me," Love in October shows sincerity and unique maturity in their sound. The quartet's imaginative style makes them one of the most exciting bands to hit the Midwest in recent years!
