In the artist's words:

At the age of 19 and with their nonchalant aplomb, lovehead from Burgenland in Austria are finally reanimating the light-heartedness of indie rock. Along the way, Anna, Leni and Mara have proven to each other over the past few years that they can really rely on their intuition. Three published songs from them have been enough to win over thousands of hearts with their combination of raw grunge sounds and mischievous songwriting. For the band itself, this is no reason to lose their heads. Because, of course, they know that it's only just beginning.

The fact that lovehead exist seriously today - as a band with structures and a clear vision - is just as "just happened" as the stories in their songs "just happen". lovehead formed four years ago - like any good band at a party and like any contemporary band, a bit on the internet. Because in Burgenland, you'd have to be very lucky to find an entire indie band line-up in the same village. At the very first band rehearsal in the children's room, Anna on bass and Mara on guitar are still just the two of them, but by their second rehearsal they are complete with Leni on drums. Their friendship finds a foundation in jamming together. They share their feelings and experiences and lose their initial shyness. So it came naturally that they not only write their songs as a trio, but also sing them as a trio. "It's important to us that none of us are perceived as the 'center of attention' to the outside world, because that's simply not the case in the band," Leni reflects on the fact that lovehead manages without a classic front woman. If you visit one of their live shows today, you can feel from their unique stage dynamic that lovehead made the right decision early on.

Away from the music, however, the three still tend to live side by side in their early teens. It is Leni's year abroad that makes them realize what is missing when the band is no longer part of everyday life as a familiar community. When Leni returns to Austria, there is suddenly a new drive. The collected verses and ideas suddenly come together to form songs. Naturally, the desire to finally bring the band to the stage grows. Even Anna and Leni's move to Vienna a few months later didn't stop their regular rehearsals. Of course, none of the three could have expected that this fresh impetus would ignite the current turbocharged start to their music career. Parallel to their first lovehead gigs, they also recorded their first song, "denkst du an mich". It is a snapshot from a phase of youth in which everyone suddenly has to make their first decisions about their own life plan at the same time; in which some seemingly untouchable friendships slowly dissolve and disappear. Even there, their sound sounds as stormy as the experiences they capture with it. Leni's dry drum beats provide a rough rhythm on which Anna and Mara move between crisp basslines, delicate licks and tugging, shimmering pads on bass and guitar.

Word quickly got around in Vienna that a new band was joining the scene. The indie rock bubble there is excellently networked and actually not that confusing. If you start with the honestly positive energy of lovehead, then great friends are also waiting there. The light-hearted melancholy in "denkst du an mich" triffes to ecstatic enthusiasm right from the start. Just a few days after its release, the song spread far beyond the city's borders and lovehead suddenly found themselves at the top of FM4's national radio charts. They realize how incredible this is when they hear themselves on air for the first time. In no time at all, lovehead were collecting flowers from their colleagues all over the German-speaking world and said to themselves: "All right, let's do it with the music now." A few weeks later, they have built up a small team, filmed their first music video and landed a record deal. Anna, Leni and Mara's viral hit "erdnussallergie" (peanut allergy) immediately caused a stir in the scene. "We noticed that all the male bands were somehow doing almost the same thing. That was too boring for us," says Anna about the wonderfully cheeky second lovehead single. Here, nuts are deliberately avoided, boys are confronted and mothers are cheated on. It doesn't just sound a bit boisterous, with a jagged guitar in the center, a whole series of cranked-up ad-libs and the energetic chorus sung together, it is. Because that's what life feels like for lovehead right now. And they've always been pretty right about their feelings. That's why Leni's intro to the second single is about twice as fast as on their debut. What has remained the same, however, is that they shoot to the top of the FM4 radio charts again from a standing start. As if by magic, "erdnussallergie" spreads throughout Germany with a wave of over 1500 creations via TikTok. When they sing the irritatingly infectious line "strawberry ice cream in the shower" to the crowds on a whole series of festival stages in Germany and Austria this late summer, the response "I climbed on a Lego brick" is likely to resound overwhelmingly loud. They have already supported the likes of Provinz and Berq, shared the stage with Kraftklub at CSD Rheinsberg and will of course also be making the Reeperbahn Festival on Hamburg's Kiez unsafe in the fall. People are already waiting in front of the stages for them and the infectious lightness of their live show. Because once you fall in love with lovehead, you stay in love with them.
