By East Love is an indie rock six-piece hailing from ‘The Big Apple’, New York. The band consists of lead vocalist Lukas Effman, acoustic guitar/bass and vocalists Robbie Fink and Alex Goldstein, electric guitar – Alex Utay, keyboardist Andy Koehler, and drummer David Berliner.
Their single ‘Straight Lines’ has an upbeat melody that is driven by a lively acoustic guitar, producing a more folk feel. The melody progresses into a combination of this same acoustic guitar rhythm, joined by a powerful percussion, bass guitar, and keyboard.

[…] Their single ‘Sweet Arizona’ is their first of 2017, a year after the release of their six-track self-titled EP which included their hit single ‘Straight Lines’. […]
