Loveless is a new group from the two people who brought us Expanding Man, back in the 90s. Dave Wanamaker and Pete Armata never really found the success that they were looking for in Expanding Man so they are moving on. Loveless features major label recording artist, Jen Trynin on back-up vocals and rhythm guitar and I would say that she adds a depth to Loveless that couldn't possibly exist without her. Also, former Letters To Cleo drummer, Tom Polce rounds out the band. So Trynin and Wanamaker, both with past discouraging major label experiences now behind them, were ready to soldier on with Loveless. The small indie label, Q Division was more than happy to experiment with their brand of power-pop music. Gift To The World is a polished power-pop album that has production values of some of the finest in the genre. Crystal clear guitar tones with vocals out front where they need to be. The album kicks off with a track simply titled "Go". It gives a good indication of what to expect over the next 40 minutes. The title track is a little bit rawer but still has those amazing production qualities. There are a couple slower tracks on the album but they just add to the dimensions of Loveless. "You Wore Me Out" is one of those and it is just waiting for radio play. Loveless is a band that has a lot of experience and it all comes through on Gift To The World. There is nothing really different about the band though. It is good music with solid songwriting and even better production but nothing setting it apart from the rest of the power-pop bands. Jen's backup vocals might do it but time will tell.
