Ian Love's musical career has changed almost as much as his life has. Hailing from New York City, Ian has been obsessed with music since his teenage days in the popular New York punk/hardcore band Burn. While things at this time were going great for him musically, drugs and hard drinking almost took everything away. After spending time in rehab, he was able to straighten his life out and explore the musical landscape again. From working live sound in NYC clubs to traveling the world, Ian soaked in all kinds of great music, which ultimately led him to forming Rival Schools alongside Walter Schreifels (from the seminal bands Gorilla Biscuits and Quicksand). While in Rival Schools, Ian played huge venues and festivals throughout the U.S., Europe, and Japan. While that might seem it would take all of a person's energy, Ian was still able to write new material and start another enormously successful band, Cardia.
