"A champion of acoustic melodrama" Herts and Essex MUSIC-ZINE
"all four songs are excellent....concentrate on the quality of the songs, here it’s hard to fault – gentle without being drowsy, understated but not bleak, this is beautifully-created stuff. At turns its minimal yet touching and incredibly calming to listen to. An excellent start, I’d be very surprised if we don’t hear more from Anthony Love in the near future" Nick Mann - A Short Fanzine About Rocking
"Love's effortless but perfect alternative singer songwriter style blends many influences to create something new, which isn't all that common in the present day." Kirsty Johnson - Kissing Just For Practice
"Elliot Smith via The Kooks" Bugbear
"Finally, after an evening of waiting, Anthony.Love hit the stage. He has an innocent charm about him that captured the audience from the get go as he took them on an adventure with his bass. His songs are so much better live than his myspace could ever attest to. It was great." Tom Booth - Hundreds and Thousands
"I thought he was hot but it turns out he really isn't!" Random Drunk Girl on the Bus at 3am

These people are all liars. I have only ever sought to sound like Pussycat Dolls(and only ever will). FACT.
My name's anthony.love. I'm 19. I play acoustic bass guitar and sing songs most of the time. The rest of the time i study Russian at University College London.
In the past year-and-a-half i've released 3 EPs and played over 100 shows all over the UK. I've toured Ireland and i even played a gig in Russia once. I've done all of this by spending more time than is healthy on trains/coaches/the internet.
I'm always well up for playing shows. I'll play anywhere in the world for the cost of my transport and a place to stay. Just send me a message and we'll chat.
Thankyou for visiting my page! Have a look at my online shop and stuff if you like :) Or just say hi.
