Lovedrug is a rock and roll band from Canton, Ohio. Their third album, The Sucker Punch Show, was released October 28,2008.
Recorded with Michael Beinhorn (Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mew), Lovedrug’s The Sucker Punch Show is every bit the sonic leap forward one would hope for from these arena-leaning indie rockers. Recorded at the $5.5M Red Bull Studios in Santa Monica, Sucker Punch delivers in spades on the big-budget hints inherent in much of the band’s previous work, providing gigantic tones that span from new heavy rockers to atmospheric art for which the band is known. This is the next generation of Lovedrug; a neo-melodic-grunge set with twice the mood and ten times the menace.
“Just hanging around, just waiting to die, We’re all suckers in the same damn sucker punch show”
As the above line from lead single “Everyone Needs A Halo” suggests, Michael Shepard & Co. have a definitive outlook on this the third Lovedrug effort. “Everyone has a role in the sucker punch show, this is just my accounting of it,” states Shepard. “For me, my road, I’m just caring less and less about self screening and caring more and more about letting people know exactly how I feel.” Thus opening track “Let It All Out” is both warning and manifesto – an admonition of uninhibited statements to follow. “Sucker Punch is about letting go of inhibitions and not allowing your brain to filter the emotions that come naturally,” says bassist Thomas Bragg.
“Sometimes you gotta let it all out”

Pssh, silly people tagging Lovedrug "emo". Tag them with "Cloud Rock" (that's what they refer to themselves as, anyway.)

Hard to tell whether I like the original or the alternate Album of The Sucker Punch Show better. The rock songs are definitely better when they rock, but I mostly like the alternative versions of the slow songs more, since their triphoppy beats are way more interesting. Anyway it's a magnificent album and just shows how talented this band is. I can't believe their new songs are not top of the list.

I didn't even know Sucker Punched existed until now, but there's no way it's better than the original album. Sorry if the kids didn't like it as much, but it was far more aggressive and rocking than this. This is cool for the alternates, especially the unplugged stuff or the dancier version of Borrowed Legs (which still isn't as good as the original). But come on, The Dirtiest Piano > The Dirtiest Queen? Everyone Needs News Orleans > Everyone Needs a Halo? Yeah, no.

I don't know why more Lovedrug fans don't listen to the newer stuff. Look out for the new material they're playing live. Anyone heard "Head Down" yet?

Saw them at Musica in Akron. They were amazing, and their music is just as good live as on the albums.
