Loud Like Love, the first new album in four years from internationally acclaimed alternative rock band PLACEBO. The band returned to the U.S. this past week for their first shows here in six years at Terminal 5 in New York and they certainly delivered to a packed house! They performed songs from the new album along with fan favorites including Every Me, Every You, Special K, Infa-Red and my personal favorite Bitter End.

Placebo has released six studio albums and sold more than 12 million records worldwide. Due to their penchant for androgynous attire/makeup and raw, punky guitar riffs, Placebo have been by some as a glam version of Nirvana. The multinational band was formed by singer/guitarist Brian Molko and Swedish bassist Stefan Olsdal. The band’s self-titled debut album, released in 1996, was certified gold in the UK and achieved platinum status in France. Since then, Placebo has enjoyed an ever growing level of success around the world with their unique blend of music and outstanding live performances. Placebo’s seventh studio album Loud Like Love was recorded in London at RAK Studios during 2012 and early 2013. The album was produced by Adam Noble and features ten brand new studio tracks.
