Biography
anthony.love is a 21yr old solo musician from London. After playing bass in the usual spate of teenage bands, he decided to start writing, recording and performing his own songs. All of this armed only with an acoustic bass guitar and a not-very-good microphone.
That was 4 years ago. Since then, he’s played around 200 shows in cities all over the UK, toured Germany twice, Ireland once and played 8 shows in Russia. Fondest memories include; a crowd of 50 people in a Berlin living room, a sold out venue in St. Petersburg, a folk festival in Vienna and 4 people in a living room in Bath. He has performed at such prestigious venues as Brighton’s Pressure Point, Camden’s Dublin Castle and Proud Galleries and headlined London’s legendary Hope and Anchor.
anthony.love has an entirely DIY approach. Up until now, his career has been completely independent, he designs flyers, t-shirts and CD artwork, runs his own website, books trains, flights, studios and his own shows. He has self-produced and self-released 3 EPs, 2 of which are now sold out. These releases were very well-received, with reviewers calling him “a champion of acoustic melodrama” (Herts and Essex Music-Zine) and “an effortless but perfect alternative singer-songwriter” (Kissing Just For Practice Zine). Alongside this, his name has appeared in the pages of The Londonpaper, The Fly and NME.
In December 2010 anthony.love went into the studio to record his debut single, ‘Sebastian’s a Killer’. The finished product will be released in spring 2011. It will be followed by the recording of a debut album in July/August 2011, with release expected in early 2012.
