Meet Philadelphia’s own Love Me My Alien, WMMR’s Local Shots artist of the month.
Love Me My Alien is a music collective with its origins deeply rooted in friendship and collaboration within the Philadelphia music scene. Anthony Montesano and Michael Montesano – “the Brothers’ as they are lovingly nicknamed by almost everyone they know – are creative partners in only the way siblings and lifelong bandmates could be.
They’re each multi-instrumentalist, and their abilities to harmonize are so perfectly balanced that it becomes a real trick trying to discern between the two. They are joined by Justin DiFebbo, to whom each brother attributes Love Me My Alien’s recent successful launch in part to DiFebbo’s keen musical ideas and sense of direction.
Their sound is both humble and grounded, yet adventurous, and evokes a number of styles from British new wave to the soulful singer/songwriters of the 1970s, all matched with those infamous Montesano vocal harmonies. Following up their successful debut, Roll It Back, LMMA presents a new single titled “Is Anybody Out There”
The Brothers have a long and storied career playing music together, most visibly in Pepper’s Ghost, a band they started with friends in Philadelphia in the early 2000s. After signing with Hybrid Records, the band worked with legendary producer and engineer, Andy Johns (The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Television), to create their debut album, Shake the Hand that Shook the World. The first single from the album, “You’re in My Heart (Little Pretty),” soared to #1 on the Canadian Billboard charts and landed in the Top 5 on the U.S. Billboard Charts.
The band independently released its first EP, Roll it Back, in the spring of 2023.
