The biggest selling points on Ohio-based indie outfit Lovedrug seem to be not what they’ve been playing since the year 2000, but with whom. Research indicates that they’ve shared stages with Robert Plant, The Killers, Juliana Theory, Switchfoot, Sam Phillips and Creeper Lagoon. This isn’t to say their music isn’t without merit. The familiar formula of their medium-loud dynamic and melodic indie jingle-jangle is no stranger to dorm rooms across this great nation. But with no iPod commercials, major-label failures, or Gossip Girl appearances to add to their credit, the most that can be said in favor of Lovedrug’s show tonight is the promise of quality, pretension-free, basic modern rock ’n’ roll in a medium-sized room of quality, pretension-free, basic modern folks.
