artist Legion of Love

legion of love is a socially conscious recording collective. The crew are all seasoned players from the Toronto scene and their participation in the project is based on a shared feeling that it is time to contribute their respective talents to the cause of positive, compassionate music. The biting sense of social injustice informing much of the material from LOL mastermind Brentwood is balanced by a simplicity of style and lyrical content that simultaneously lulls listeners into feeling good while reminding them that these are troubled times indeed. All legion of love songs share a similar message but are sonically distinct, each one bringing its own particular flavour to the mix. Stylistically, they range from guitar-based dance tracks to power ballads. The catalogue includes hard rockers, funky up-tempo numbers, progressive groove tunes and catchy contemporary pop songs. A diverse array of sounds uniquely original, but seeming familiar. "Hopefully there are a few songs in the recordings that get people thinking and most importantly, talking and acting. While it is obvious songs alone will not change the world, it is also obvious the world could do with a little bit more love and affection.” Brentwood.
