From the birth place of heavy rock comes Birmingham’s next finest export, Love Nor Money. Two brothers, Bob and Eddie Firth are joined by Troy Weaver on drums to breathe fresh air into an age of music struggling to find an era-defining band. Love Nor Money’s mission is simple and clear, to be the band that music lovers have been waiting for.
Having signed a worldwide deal with Golden Robot Records their first release is the single ‘Blood Will Tell’ that’s available here and with a video you can check out below.
‘Blood Will Tell‘ is said to be potent statement of intent – a defiant anthem that confronts self-entitlement and the toxic desire to see others fail. Built on the belief that genuine talent and patience can cut through the noise.
“We are honoured to be joining the Golden Robot family. GRR have landscaped the rock industry over the last decade and we feel privileged to be a part of their momentum-gaining movement,” said the band on their new record deal.
Formed in 2023, Love nor Money instantly set themselves apart with a fusion of West Midlands-heavy riffs and Mersey-melodic clarity with rock that pays ultimate respect to its ancestors. “An incendiary back drop of guitars sounding so powerful they could bring down skyscrapers fuel the emotive, relatable lyrics of Bobby Firth’s harrowing vocals,” so we’re told.
A clear passion for early blues and 70s rock is unmistakable in Love nor Money’s unique identity pertaining to an authentic retro influence that’s never sounded so current. The debut EP, Shame Of Short Lifespan, will take you on a journey of influences from the notorious riffs of Zeppelin, to the groove of the Stones while evidencing a deep lyrical appreciation for the likes of Ray Davies, Bob Dylan and Tom Waits – the band’s dearest lyrical inspirations.
“In writing the songs it was important to us from the outset as a band not to subscribe to one emotion. We didn’t want to be known as the band that only wrote sad songs any more so than the band that only wrote happy ones. Life’s not that simple. It’s messy, it changes. One day’s different from the next. That’s what we want to capture in our music, the whole thing, not just a part of it and hopefully the EP conveys that. There are songs of ours that will make you think, songs that will make you laugh and songs that will make you want to dance but what is imperative is that they are all relatable,” said Bobby Firth.
From ‘Late Ultimatum’, a chilling depiction of those who lost everything during the UK’s recent cost-of-living crisis at the merciless hands of profiteering corporations, to ‘Was It Something I Said’ – a poke of fun at cancel culture, Love Nor Money cover a broad spectrum of themes with the perfect blend of hurt and wit, dismay and irony. With visions aligned, Love Nor Money signed to Golden Robot Records in April 2025. Two further EPs and an eagerly-awaited debut album are planned for the forthcoming 18 months with regular live shows at the heart of the band’s priorities.
