Love Songs for Lonely Monsters are an alternative rock band based in Des Moines, IA, formed in 2009. The band has written and released original material and played many shows over the past few years, earning a loyal following among Iowa’s music scene. Band members Nick Parks, Justin Neuenschwander, Chris Lachky, Brian Gellerman, and Amy Badger credit post-hardcore heroes Dinosaur Jr. and Fugazi for inspiring their original tunes, which tend to focus on themes of being an outcast in love. Their eerie yet intense sound is easy to access, with full-on guitar riffs and clear, rich vocals.
