In a special appearance in the border city of Bristol, Tenn./Va., where past generations of her family recorded country music, Carter performs selections from her new album for Mountain Stage. Love In October: 'Petrula The Destroyer' Tue, 14 Oct 2008 16:35:00 -0400 Swedish-born brothers Erik and Kent Widman formed Love in October in 2006, after moving to Minneapolis, Minn. The following year, the band released its Words of Sound EP before following it up with the full-length Pontus, the Devil, and Me at the start of 2008. Rounded out by Nik Pfeifer on guitar and Brian Boesen on drums, Love in October is the sort of group that fans of Top 40 pop-punk have longed for. Pontus, the Devil, and Me features the spirited energy, rocking guitars and irresistible hooks of the genre, but with more thoughtful execution and clever songwriting.
