Alter The Press! Presents: This Love

Since coming together in early 2010, Dayton, Ohio's This Love have shared the stage with the likes of the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Let’s Get It, Cute is What We Aim For, and The Bigger Lights. Now in 2011 the quartet are set to release their debut full-length, 'At War' on August 2nd.

Despite their young age, This Love have an ambitious yet accessible sound; mixing the stadium sized rock of U2 and 30 Seconds To Mars, and mixing it with the pop sensibilities of Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Boys Like Girls. Tracks like 'Motions' are cinematic and well-crafted, showing a band that are hungry and capable of producing favorable songs.

For Fans Of: U2, Kings of Leon, and 30 Seconds To Mars

We, as a band, are so excited to get a chance to play music that is heard by the people. We are so thankful that we get a chance to do this everyday!

ATP: What's the story behind the band?
