Artist Biography
by Jason Ankeny
The neo-bossanova indie pop trio
True Love Always formed in late 1995 when, following the demise of Charlottesville, VA, band Operation Love, vocalist/guitarist
John Lindaman and drummer
Matt Datesman opted to reunite in a more intimate musical setting. After recruiting bassist
Tobin Rodriguez, the host of the local radio program Love Songs,
True Love Always began performing on the area club circuit, eventually recording a two-song demo. While opening for
Versus
in March 1996, the trio came to the attention of Teenbeat label honcho
Mark Robinson, a former high school classmate of Lindaman's who offered
to reissue the demo as a single, resulting in 1996's Mediterranean 7".
When Will You Be Mine?,
True Love Always'
full-length debut, followed in 1997, and a number of 7" singles on
Teenbeat followed throughout the late '90s along with 1998's Hopefully
LP and 2000's Torch LP. In 2001, Teenbeat raided its vaults and released
Spring Collection, a compilation of singles and other
True Love Always gems.
