With tasteful pop rock long gone from mainstream terrestrial radio, it’s no surprise that the form’s present torchbearers are cut from a decidedly more DIY cloth. Based in LA and featuring members of Drug Church, <a href="spotify:artist:4us4NMG5wuqdUZvthZrj0Q" data-name="Militarie Gun">Militarie Gun</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1qqdO7xMptucPDMopsOdkr" data-name="State Champs">State Champs</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6meTcQ79DrfkIuSLPZkpBg" data-name="The Story So Far">The Story So Far</a>, Pile of Love is a band that unashamedly and masterfully hearkens back to the golden era of the mid-90s radio rock boom.
Formed in 2021, Pile of Love’s affinity for massive guitar hooks was immediately apparent on their 2021 self-titled debut LP, and 2022’s Flake On The Future EP was ample proof that the first record wasn’t a fluke. Their new EP, Super Sometimes, puts the issue permanently to rest, further crystallizing their knack for infectious power-pop melodies that are as much rooted in the larger than life radio rock of <a href="spotify:artist:6TcnmlCSxihzWOQJ8k0rNS" data-name="Third Eye Blind">Third Eye Blind</a> or <a href="spotify:artist:6kXp61QMZFPcKMcRPqoiVj" data-name="Gin Blossoms">Gin Blossoms</a> as they are the ageless simplicity of college rock legends like <a href="spotify:artist:4oV5EVJ0XFWsJKoOvdRPvl" data-name="Guided By Voices">Guided By Voices</a>. Additionally, the band’s pop-punk bona fides shine through in graceful flourishes of <a href="spotify:artist:5gWhlJBlLQGLOgYWO8lwCU" data-name="Saves The Day">Saves The Day</a> energy and <a href="spotify:artist:54Bjxn26WsjfslQbNVtSCm" data-name="The Get Up Kids">The Get Up Kids</a> youthfulness that elevate and update the 90s sensibilities that serve as the band’s sonic foundation.
Pile of Love is proof positive that classic formulas inevitably endure the ever-shifting tides of public interest. Four chords and a bit of overdrive is as potent an approach today as it was in 1965, 1985, and 1995, and Pile of Love are devoted acolytes of that simple philosophy.
