History
Less Love was formed in 2006 by band members Sky McCullough and Billy Gro in Oklahoma City. The band has released two LPs and multiple singles on indie labels Lackpro Records and Quickstar Records. In 2008, the band was signed with Quickstar Records and released their first single, Magical Purple Hair. Their second single, Lovelock was released in 2010.

The band released their first album in 2011. It was a multi-genre collection of original songs including upbeat noise rock, eerie ballads and a traditional country song called Thank You Lord For Willie Nelson. The latter included a pedal steel guitar solo played by Sub Pop Recording artist Bruce Tull of the Scud Mountain Boys. The album was titled Go Fuck Yourself.

Less Love collaborated with the band Wondernaut in 2013 to release their second album Paradigms in the Design. The album received positive reviews including being voted as Album of the year by Rust Magazine. Mark King, rhythm guitarist of Oklahoma based band Hinder, said that if Fleetwood Mac and Sonic Youth had an ugly love child, it would sound a lot like the new album Paradigms In The Design.

In 2016, Less Love recorded the single Horse Race with Grammy Award winning music producer Michael Trepagnier (Coldplay) and engineer Kevin Lively (Rage Against The Machine). The single was nominated at Independent Music Awardsand Global Music Awards. The music video was also voted Best Music Video by The Hollywood International Moving Picture Film Festival and won two awards at the KSCR Music Video Awards. Horse Race was originally written and recorded by the band Colourmusic. It was recorded after Sky McCullough and Colourmusic band member Nicholas Ley had a friendly disagreement. Nicholas said, nobody would ever cover Colourmusic, so Less Love did.

In addition to performing with Less Love McCullough is also an actor. He has worked in William H. Macy directorial debut Rudderless and in Dinesh D'Souza's America: Imagine the World Without Her. He has also worked in Kings of Leon's music video Beautiful War.
