Review: Novustory Blend Pop And Rock Effortlessly On “Love Me Too”

The song opens up with an electronic drum sample and atmospheric guitars with singer __ voice taking center stage. Immaculately recorded and mixed, the song takes a strong left turn when the chorus comes crashing in with a full band. Overall, this is a great song, with a great message. Occasionally, the song comes off a bit too polished and could use to be a little rawer. At its best, “Love Me Too” is a slick modern rocker that occasionally slips into the Kelly Clarkson realm of rock-tinged pop.

But back to the great message of the song. ‘Love Me Too’ sums up the struggle our band has faced over years of trying to ‘make it in the music industry’” the band says, “but to your average listener, it can be taken as a love song, a plea even, to the second member of a failing relationship. ‘Love Me Too’ feels like our way of saying to the industry ‘this is us, this is our sound, this is who we are and this isn’t the last you’ve heard of us.”

From the bio: Alt-rock four piece, Novustory, can usually be found tucked away in their own custom-built studio in Blackburn, merging together elements of all your favourite styles of music.Think both modern and classic rock; alt-rock; the slightest hint of metal and a touch of pop, and you’ll be about there. For fans of PVRIS, YONAKA, Nothing But Thieves and Royal Blood, Novustory’s sound is familiar but unique.

Endorsed by multiple national companies including sE Electronics, Read Audio, Amedia Cymbals, LowLifeLeague Clothing, Balbex Drumsticks, Vocalzone and dR Drums UK, Novustory have not only built their own studio alongside a dedicated community of fans, but they’ve built their industry contacts from the ground up and have no intentions of slowing down any time soon. They’ve taken themselves on 3 European tours over the past 4 years, gigging in Amsterdam, Belgium, Italy and France, and have camped and busked their way through each country.
