Influence and delusion.
“Long Since Gone” (The Brighter Side of Freedom) brings to the conversation how we are made to feel unfulfilled in our own lives by measure of comparison with rich celebrity influencers, funding extravagant lifestyles of their own by selling an ‘all this could be yours if you follow me’ dream.

The song celebrates the honest mundane, modesty and the value of what real people have in a real world. 8 singles on, a clear development in sound is apparent with the band’s well-known classic rock identity now fused with more soul and blues influences. Harmonies to the forefront, grit replaced with groove – at least for now, and a notable nod to the truly inspirational Crispian Mills.

Bobby Firth: ‘I saw Kula Shaker twice last year, they were one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen. It seemed fitting on this track to channel some of Crispian’s iconic vocal ad-libs into the recording.’

Love nor Money formed in the West Midlands, UK in 2023. Two brothers with guitars, Bobby and Eddie Firth were joined by Troy Weaver on drums with a unified passion for music that is inescapable in the energy produced on every stage they take to. A clear love for early blues and classic rock is unmistakable in Love nor Money’s unique identity pertaining to an authentic retro influence that’s never sounded so current.

A typical Love nor Money show will take you on a journey of Birmingham-heavy riffs, with the groove of the Stones while evidencing a deep lyrical appreciation for the likes of Ray Davies, Bob Dylan and Tom Waits. Love nor Money are becoming increasingly known for their high-impact live gigs, tight arrangements, and emotive, relatable, thought-provoking lyrics. Audiences can expect the occasional Doors, Howlin’ Wolf and Nina Simone cover, always delivered Love nor Money style, with the same passion and energy as their own material.

Working with critically acclaimed producer Gavin Monaghan (Robert Plant, The Twang, The Editors, Ocean Colour Scene, Celine Dion), Love nor Money have released 7 previous singles, an EP, performed extensively, signed an international record deal, and have now chosen to continue independently for the foreseeable future.

Catch Love nor Money next at the Newhampton Arts Centre, Wolverhampton on Friday 15th May.
