About Us


In between being asleep and awake, there’s a place just for broken hearts.
And in the chaos and calamity, this illusion is to me such a welcomed start.

-In Between Chaos & Sleep, Battle Scars

Lovecartel’s journey has been anything but linear —marked by reinvention, hard-fought resilience, and an unwavering commitment to crafting music that feels both raw and real.

Born from a love of boundary-pushing soundscapes, Lovecartel quickly gained a reputation for their emotionally charged live performances and immersive storytelling, earning a devoted following that connected with their unfiltered, anthemic sound. Inspired by the sonic textures of Silversun Pickups, the anthemic reach of early Coldplay, the raw intensity of Smashing Pumpkins, the brooding depth of The National, and the rhythmic energy of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lovecartel weaves together indie rock, alternative, and experimental sounds, forging music that is both intimate and explosive.

Over the years, Lovecartel has released a series of impactful projects, including their breakout LP Battle Scars and the critically acclaimed EP Sayonara ’til Tomorrow, which showcased their ability to balance introspective lyricism with gritty and expansive production.

The turbulence of 2020 nearly derailed Lovecartel completely—life, family, and battles with burnout and self-doubt forced them to step away. But the music never truly left them. By mid-2024, Anthony and Ash found themselves drawn back to what they love most, ready to pour everything into a new chapter.

Reigniting their creative spark, they embarked on a transformative journey to craft their most ambitious project yet: Solar Control, set for release in mid-2025. More than just an album, Solar Control represents a reclamation of identity, a meditation on chaos and renewal. The songs explore themes of disconnection and rediscovery, the push and pull between personal struggles and creative breakthroughs, and the bittersweet passage of time—navigating the tension between youthful ambition and the realities of getting older. All of it is wrapped in the most dynamic and expansive sound Lovecartel has ever crafted.

Fueled by the lessons and losses of the past few years, Solar Control captures the band’s evolution—layered, urgent, and more unfiltered than ever. This isn’t just a comeback; it’s a redefinition. With a powerhouse rhythm section now in place, Lovecartel is gearing up to bring Solar Control to life on stage, delivering a set that blends their deep history with a renewed intensity.

Lovecartel’s journey is far from over. With Solar Control on the horizon and plans to reconnect with audiences both old and new, 2025 is shaping up to be a defining year. Stay tuned for updates, new music, and live shows that promise to capture the essence of everything Lovecartel stands for.
