Love Rarely - Pain Travels

Emerging from the heart of Leeds' flourishing alternative scene, Love Rarely have rapidly carved out a reputation as one of the UK's most emotionally fearless math-rock outfits. Their debut album, Pain Travels, captures the fullest picture of who they've become: shaped over the course of a year in spare bedrooms and improvised recording spaces, the record chronicles the band's collective experience of family trauma, toxic households, and the complexity of navigating adulthood with scars that shape but no longer define them. With praise from BBC Radio 1's Alyx Holcombe, Kerrang!, and Stereogum, driving the band towards nearly a million streams, the band have played a sold-out, upgraded hometown show at Leeds' iconic Key Club cemented them as a genuine force in the underground. Love Rarely have played 2000 Trees, ArcTanGent, NoizzeFest, and Portals Festival, followed by a string of shows with Philly emo's Sweet Pill. In February 2026 the band will return to the live circuit with a sold out run of shows supporting The Callous Daoboys as well as summer festivals 2000 Trees, Truck and more TBA.
