LOVER UNDER COVER / SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE (2012)

Lover Under Cover is a new exciting melodic rock band that will blow your mind with their big melodies, great vocal performances and the very good guitar work! Mikael Carlsson (guitars) is the mastermind and founder behind L.O.C. and I had the pleasure to interview him two years ago and talk about this band!



The story of L.O.C. begins many years ago when the band singer was Daniel Boscovic. The band that time recorded some songs but due to different circumstances never released the album. Finally and after many years and with the addition of the great Mikael Erlandsson (Last Autumn's Dream), we have the debut effort of this really amazing band.

The album starts off with the up-tempo rocking tune of "My Best Friend". This is a great in-your-face rocker with a catchy chorus line and a solid guitar work!! "Too Good To Be True" is simple a stunning melodic rock song!! A huge melody, superb harmonies and some great performances from Mikael Erlandsson.  "Crazy For You" is catchy as hell with a monstrous chorus while "Crime In The Line" is another killer AOR tune!!

Bottom line is that this is an impressive start for Lover Under Cover. Harmonies, melodies and great songs are all perfectly balanced and it's nice to hear Mikael Erlandsson sing some rockier tunes again. The guitar work is top notch and this album will end-up high in this year's top list. Great job guys!!!
