About LoveAsArson ( Dec 17th @ Mardigras 1 Utama )
LoVE as ArSon , the Malaysian East Coast answer to Post Hardcore, a collective of five friends celebrating life and love; everything in between; and lack thereof; through a common understanding and likeliness in HC music. Formed in 2005, the band came from Grace Division, a melodic HC outfit playing music in the veins of Shai Hulud, Ignite and Stretch Armstrong. Grace Division recorded one EP entitled "The Hate That Hate Produce"(2001) which unfortunately never saw the light of day. After a few line-up changes and constantly exploring various musical styles, the band decided to settle with the moniker "Love as Arson". Comprising of 5 band members, Love as Arson = Afzal (guitars) + Mohasni (vocals) + Syukri (guitars) + Shahrudin (bass) + Bakri(drums). Influences vary in the band, as each band member draws personal favourites and brings something to the table. 2007 sees witness as the breakout year for Love as Arson, who came out with their first full-length/first ever release entitled "...and They Fall For Australis"(2007). A mixture of post hardcore and a vast array of emotions, this release marks the start for Love as Arson. A debut heartfelt by many sounded an alarm for them to kick start again by recording new songs on their upcoming EP, THE HANGOVER. The end of adolescence; catchy choruses in the intensity of He Is Legend, Funeral For A Friend and Boy Sets Fire meets a profound love..A love that is on fire.. FIN.
