Classics of Love

Description

Classics of Love is a newish band from the Bay Area of Northern California featuring Jesse from Operation Ivy and Max, Mike and Morgan from San Jose's The Hard Girls. Mike also plays with Shinobu while Max and Morgan are veterans of Pteradon.

The band, which began in November of '08, started out playing basic, classic punk rock with a variety of influences including but not limited to Rites of Spring, Stiff Little Fingers, The Who, The Clash, Wire, and others. Over our first year we evolved into something a little bit faster, a bit more like eighties hardcore but with a lot of melodic moments. Our thing is to remain inspired by the bands we love but to create something NEW and DIFFERENT if at all possible. We do this by trying to write good songs and trusting in the natural creative urge to find it's own form.

In our first year we recorded a six song ep, played the Bay Area, L.A, Chicago, Mineeapolis and completed a tour of the U.K. The E.P. is called "Walking in Shadows" and is available on Asian Man records. We also have tee-shirts there. Our next step is to write and record a full-length. In the mean time we are having a lot of fun playing shows and hope to see you soon. This is not a full time band for various life-type reasons but we keep writing songs and playing out at a slow and steady pace.

Much gratitude to everybody who has helped us and/or supported us so far, we have had a lot of wonderful assistance and we never take it for granted.

Booking: contact us here. Note: In most cases, particularly if we are traveling, we strongly prefer to have either solid support or to open for a larger band. We limit our shows to ones that are likely to be attended by more than 50 people.
