DOUG BIGGERSTAFF SENIOR STAFF WRITER LoveHateHero is another up-and-coming band in the world of rock and roll, sharing the catchy hooks, metallic solos and sentimental lyr- ics of many of their contemporaries. Prior to their first record, the band calculated every move for emerging into the world, preparing thier debut record in secrecy before ever playing a show. This paid off in a record deal with Ferret Records and a quick underground following. Here is what lead singer Pierrick Berube had to say about it in an interview with the Seahawk.
