Love Arcade was an American alternative/powerpop band founded by Christian Berishaj. Their debut album, Love Arcade was released in 2006.

History

Berishaj received a guitar from his father in fourth grade.[1] Berishaj started working on Pro Tools at the age of twelve. He began writing songs which he recorded at home.[1] He also learned how to play other instruments and began holding neighborhood garage performances with a band, Snowhite, he formed with bass guitarist Seth Anderson, drummer Samuel Anderson and guitarist Tony Sliwinski.[1] Berishaj had taught Seth how to play the bass guitar.[1] Eventually, he began mailing demos and performance videos to record labels, having his mother cold call A&R representatives.[1][2] By eighteen, Berishaj had written and recorded a whole album, Love Arcade, on which he plays all the instruments.[2]

He secured a recording contract with Atlantic Records, after turning down an offer from Sony Records, along with his band in 2005.[2][3][4][5] His demos had impressed David Wimmer and Leslie Dweck of Atalantic, who were taken by Berishaj's drive and ambition.[1] Six months later, Samuel and Sliwinski were replaced by Dorman Pantfoeder and Thomas Amason from Jacksonville, Florida at the advice of Wimmer. A keyboardist, Nathaniel Boone was added later.[1] Love Arcade was released in 2006 with the band credited as Love Arcade.[2] After three years together, the band broke up.[3]

Artistry

Berishaj wrote and performed all the songs on Love Arcade while the other members served as the touring band only, not performing on the record.[1]
