1. Gateway … Read Full Bio ↴There're two acts with the stage name of Gateway Drugs:
1. Gateway Drugs is formed by two members: Andrew Esterhuizen and David Gabriel Thorpe, of the slightly better known band Beach Party. Together are part of the Surfing Loser Space Cult collective, which also includes The Dollfins.
The first single ‘Airwaves’ is from their self-titled debut album and is best described as synthpop – in fact the whole album is in the same vain – and it works surprisingly well.
The seven-track album is 24 minutes of pure, synthpop delight and the perfect soundtrack to a lazy weekend. If for some reason you haven’t made up your mind about them after listening to ‘Airwaves’ then check out ‘The Chase’; it’s a personal favourite and reminds me of those youthful, care-free summer days.
They've kindly released their album for free: http://www.mediafire.com/?w087o72b92g6abq

2. L.A.-based alt-rock band Gateway Drugs.
Hailing from the dark streets of sunny Los Angeles Gabe, Noa, and Liv Niles are the real live children of The Knack’s Prescott Niles. Blues Williams, a sworn in blood brother, rounds out the band.
Members:
Liv – lead vocals, guitars, bass, theremin – packs a voice smoky sweet like Chrissie and Patsy but lays down sonic smoking leads like Jay and Johnny.
Noa – lead vocals, guitars, keys – croons like a teen angel then coaxes waves of pure bliss and snarling panthers from his guitar.
Gabe – lead vocals, drums, guitars, bass – pounds his kit like a freight train stampeding down the midnight rails while he howls at the moon.
Blues – vocals, bass, guitars, banjos – holds it all together, riding the dark swells with thundering lines and perfect cheek bones, trying his best to keep all the real girls from going under.
Gateway Drugs shows are a controlled cauldron of total rock and roll inspiration. All members are multi-instrumentalist lead singers, and the vocals and instruments are thrown around like chainsaw jugglers up on the high wire, or kids who have been playing together since … well, since they were really little kids. Gateway Drugs are a mind-blowing, heart-altering mix of sex, chaos, bad thoughts, young dreams, and perfect pop hits … take it now.

Give Me Your Love
Gateway Drugs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what you doing
Tryin' cross that any hope of friendship
Well this is how we losing
Every words you say misunderstood and lost into the night
And the world we've made will feel so good if we only get it right
Always I will always, I will always be waiting for you
Your voice penetrates the darkness only to hide you from the silence
In pointless way we run around trying to shy away from violence
Does it matter where I disappear till you discover me
I'm the ladder leaves you searching through devotion I don't need
Always I will always, I will always be waiting for you
Always I will always, I will always be waiting for you
Give give give give me your love in the middle of night let the time rewind with you
Give give give give me your love again
Give give give give me your love in the middle of night let the time rewind with you
Give give give me your love again
Your mind is playing tricks on you if you think it's what you need
It's fine pretending that it's true bet you know where it leads
Always I will always, I will always be waiting for you
Always I will always, I will always be waiting for you
Always I will always, I will always be waiting for you
Always I will always, I will always be waiting for you
Give give give give me your love in the middle of night let the time rewind with you
Give give give give me your love again
Give give give give me your love in the middle of night let the time rewind with you
Give give give give me your love again
The lyrics of Gateway Drugs's song Give Me Your Love speak to the complexities and uncertainties of romantic relationships. The songwriter expresses a deep longing for connection with their partner, even while acknowledging the difficulties that arise in communication and understanding. The chorus repeats the phrase, "Always I will always, I will always be waiting for you," emphasizing the persistent hope and desire for a deeper level of intimacy.
The opening lines reflect the physical sensation of excitement and anticipation that comes with being around the person they love, despite not knowing what to do to bridge the divide between them. The mention of "crossing any hope of friendship" suggests that perhaps the relationship has transitioned from a more platonic connection to a romantic one, but that it has also come with its own set of challenges.
Throughout the rest of the song, the lyrics describe a sense of disconnection and miscommunication between the two partners, with each struggling to understand the other. The repeated call for "give me your love" seems to be an attempt to bridge the gap and find a way back to each other. The line, "Your mind is playing tricks on you if you think it's what you need," highlights the tension between desire and logic, and the difficulty of deciphering what is truly best for oneself and for the relationship.
Overall, Give Me Your Love is a heartfelt and vulnerable expression of the struggles and yearnings that come with intimate relationships, offering a glimpse into the complexity of human connection and the desire for love and understanding.
