I am taking a little break from this part of my life this winter 🤘 things will resume in March. Actually I am working now with a visionary artist on the fourth Love's Devotee label release, an LP that is going to press soon. And in a week or two, I will announce an open call for musicians / sound artists with the plan of two label releases to happen in 2026. You will see what I'm thinking.

While mailorders are paused, all Love's Devotee releases are pay what you wish (no minimum) on Bandcamp. Catch up with our small but excellent group of releases by /// thank you for letting me release your amazing music.

Thank you to everyone who supported Love's Devotee in 2024, if you bought a record, came to a gig, if you came to perform in the Lehigh Valley, if you helped work the door or do sound or co-promote an event. There's too many to name but you are all appreciated.

Saturday 12/14:: LVAC & Love's Devotee present UNIFORM + PHARMAKON with Lunacy and DD Moon at National Sokol's in Bethlehem, PA

Both artists are touring on their new albums which have been released by Sacred Bones Records this fall. Tickets on sale now at lovesdevotee.com

Everything is Noise on Pharmakon's "Maggot Mass": "The juxtaposition of Pharmakon’s primitive, industrial electronic nightmare with the misanthropic environmentalism makes Maggot Mass an enthralling journey of human’s amensalistic relationship with the natural world. "

calls Uniform's "American Standard" "another rational artistic step forward for a band who consistently create some of today’s bravest and most beautifully annihilatory rock music."

LUNACY will provide dark, dystopian vibes through deep electronic cuts that shake and rattle with power.

Just added: DD MOON, the synthwave project of DD, member of Pale Fang and RA!D. First LV performance!

Thank you to for taking the time to speak with me and write this Lehigh Valley Live article about Love's Devotee! It was an opportunity to think about what led me to starting this label, working with these excellent artists and booking these gigs (and also the film screenings) over the past year and a half. The support and interest of my local community and wider audience is truly appreciated.

Touched to hear local Lehigh Valley radio host on 's The Take podcast this morning talking about the vibrant Latino and Puertorriqueño community in Pennsylvania and specifically in Allentown, PA — which is a majority Latino city. Victor breaks down how important these votes are in this election.

In a time when people try to seed hate among people, love is necessary to keep us together. Listen to today's episode of The Take podcast. Thank you, Victor! 🇵🇷❤️

I'm excited to partner with the Bethlehem Area Public Library to present a conversation event with writer and podcaster whose new podcast The True Story of the Fake Zombies is an amazing look at a crazy yet true footnote in rock history. The culmination of years of (still ongoing) research, the podcast discusses the story of the American musicians who posed as the great UK pop group The Zombies and toured the USA in 1969.

Love's Devotee and the are excited to welcome the Los Angeles based Daniel Ralston back home to the Lehigh Valley for this special in conversation event! We'll talk about this massive research, the joys and challenges of producing a podcast and dive deep into the details of this until-recentlu untold story about one of rock music's strangest chapters.

Tuesday, November 26 at 6:00pm
Bethlehem Area Public Library - Main Library
11 W. Church Street, Bethlehem, PA 18018

This is a free event, you can also register for it at bapl.org
