"Their fast growing popularity is easy to understand..." - Michael Heslep, CNN iReport
With their energetic live performances, magnetic stage presence, and superior musicianship, Love Assassin has spent the past year building a strong following in northern New Jersey and beyond. This is a group of like-minded musicians that have integrated varied musical influences into a seamless dynamic whole. Originally formed by evocative lead singer/guitarist Dan Avery and imaginative lead guitarist/singer Eric Menist as an acoustic guitar duo, like many self-taught rockers Love Assassin got its start playing covers in bars, in this case throughout the New Jersey/New York club scene. Expanding to a full band in 2010, they augmented their lineup to include the driving drums of Will Frazier and Dan Patrick Leal on rock solid bass, and eventually the formidable talents of Pat McQuillan on piano and guitar to achieve the dynamic sound of the band's current incarnation. With the personnel line-up complete the band decided to focus their energy on writing original music. Following an extended time of writing, recording and performing live they've developed what is now the engaging and unique Love Assassin sound.
". . . [Love Assassin] captures some of the same youthful bohemian bluster Springsteen and Southside Johnny once did."—John Fortunato, The Aquarian
