Love & War is a five-piece alternative rock band based in Raleigh, NC and composed of Bryan Mears (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), TJ Louie (keyboard, vocals), Michael Mears (bass, vocals), Stephen Luster (drums), and Ryan Collinsworth (electric guitar).

Love & War represents a fusion of musical and philosophical ideals; it exists at the crossroads of blues-rock and folk, in the crucible of joy and pain. Pounding, dynamic drums and bass secure the tight groove underpinning an introspective, singer/songwriter sound. Strong melody floats over wistful acoustic guitar as harmony swells and punctuates the emotional vocals of Bryan Mears. Delicate keys are contrasted against harsh blues-based riffing from electric guitar, all culminating in a musical sound that punches you in the stomach inasmuch as it takes your breath away.
