10 Hard Rock Bands You Should Be Listening To Right Now
4. BRKN LOVE
BRKN LOVE is a Canadian alternative rock band from Toronto backed by singer and guitarist Justin Benlolo. Benlolo dropped out of school at the age of 16 to pursue his passion of becoming a Rock N Roll artist. The singer would then relocate to LA to make his dreams a reality, writing material and linking up with producer Joel Hamilton (Pretty Lights, Highly Suspect).
The band’s first single "Shot Down" came out in 2019 with Spinefield Records to much critical acclaim and features filthy guitars, a hooky chorus along with Benelo’s blues-inspired vocals. The group have now released their self-titled debut album which pulls from many genres of rock music to create a comprehensive record.
Benlolo lists some of his influences as Black Sabbath, Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters and Jeff Buckley. BRKN LOVE’s music is making room for more real rock music whilst still entirely authentic. Not many people could drop out of school to pursue a music career with this sort of success, yet BRKN LOVE has proved their skill and talent for a long future ahead.
