Canton, OH-based rock band Lovedrug, lED by singer/guitarist Michael Shepard, has shared the stage with artists as divers as the Killers, Robert Plant, Switchfoot, Sam Phillips, Creeper Lagoon, Eisley, and Matchbook Romance. Since forming in June 2002, the band has seen various lineup changes, which included Matthew Putman (Ester Drang, Unwed Sailor) on drums. Quickly later forming, Lovedrug recorded a five-song EP, followed by the Rocknroll EP in summertime 2003. After interest from various labels, the stripe settled with The Militia Group, which issued Pretend You're Alive in 2004. The record album sold well and the group supported it over the following twelvemonth on tours with the Juliana Theory and Copeland. Upstreamed to Columbia Records, subsequent hullabaloo among key label figures caused Lovedrug to in the end get itself released from its squeeze and indorse to Militia. The band's soph album, Everything Starts Where It Ends, appeared in early 2007 and it cracked into the Billboard Top 200.
