Love a Lunatic is a four piece American alternative/hard rock band based in the outskirts of the greater Philadelphia,PA area. The band formed in early 2011 and have been hitting the Philly music circuit ever since. The band’s lineup is Ryan Schurman (Lead Vocals), Eric Welch (Guitars), Larry Hart (Bass), and Ryan Trimble(Drums). The band has a high energy vibe with melodic undertones. The band’s sound is a blend of styles ranging from progressive, hard rock, metal, funk, and a hint of grunge. The creative force behind the band comes from the chemistry from all four members, individually playing their own stylized ideas which get molded into a layered cohesive sound. Some of the band’s musical influences that are in some way shape or form partly responsible for the very existence of Love a Lunatic are Tool, Deftones, Incubus, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Mars Volta, Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Meshuggah, Alice in Chains, GlassJaw, Dream Theater, Pantera, Karnivool, System of a Down, Primus, Chevelle, Pearl Jam, the list can go on….
