If you liked Placebo and knew the drummer left the band in 2007, you'd know he is on his own project called Love Amongst Ruin.

 

Their self titled album is out since 13th september, and they are currently touring.

 

He plays guitar and sings.

Blood and Earth teaser

 

(bee_panda asked me to open them a separate thread off placebo's)

Yay! I'll definitely check them out :D

I kinda like the song So Sade (Fade) :D

Lolz

It sounds like the title to one of those cheesey romance novels.

Yeah funny name..I wonder who came up with the name :P

wonder that too, i'll look for some interview, i found one at kerrang, but took a decade to load.

 

they sound good, more powerful than the last placebo sound imo.

and yeah surprising to find him singin. i'm happy this project is working.

btw i find the so sad video similar at some point to the twenty years :uhoh:

They sound louder ..

Yeah, I agree they are quite similar...

seems next single will be blood & earth, they offer the song on free download on their website. :surprised:

btw they'll tour europe in october and november :)

I've listened to the album once...will give it a few more listens :)

good, i'll keep you updated if they go to malaysia or some near country :)

from their fb:

are about to start filming the video for 'ALONE'. This will be the best yet.

 

 

:dance: yay more vids.

Really digging the album, despite the stupid title/artwork combo. I actually find it a lot better than a lot of the post-Hewitt era Placebo.

finally! i feared i was the only one thinking that.

i already said it with the first vid, seems to me as Hewitt brought back the good period of Placebo in that project (2003-2005), as i said i found their first vid so alike as Placebo's twenty years in many ways.

I'm glad we think alike! I said the same thing on another forum and got completely flamed by Placebo fans. It's not like I'm a Placebo hater either, I had to hear about LAR from somewhere. It's just that if I were given the choice between listening to Trigger Happy Hands or So Sad for instance, I'd easily know which one I'd pick.

 

I never noticed the 20 Years connection before, but you're totally right with that one. That must be why I like the video so much. Amazing stuff.

 

Oh, and LAR was in my top 10 albums for 2010 as well.

i saw the other day an update that they were filming a new vid, i don't remember to which song now.

anyways i did some research about what's new.

i don't know how i missed that one:

released last september apparently.

Oh thanks for posting :D

XFM New Music Award 2011 voting here.

for best debut album.

I've known about Home for ages. Good song, not sold on the vid though.

 

The new single will be Alone. I'm glad, it's one of my favs off the album.

I need to listen to the album again

I think my fav songs are So Sad (Fade), Bring Me Down (You Don't), Home & Love Song.
