Author: Alex Demilo‍ ‍Paperback and E-Book Published: April 26, 2026

A coming of age music memoir

BOOK SUMMARY - GIVE ME YOUR LOVE chronicles eighty vivid episodes of what it meant to be chasing music, love, and freedom in the '80s. This coming-of-age memoir captures the journey from a quiet high school kid transformed by punk and new wave into the American lead singer of Como, a raw new wave rock band playing basement bars to thousand-person venues across Buenos Aires and Punta del Este.

At just seventeen, Alex Demilo was uprooted from everything he knew and dropped 5,000 miles into 1980s Argentina—no English, no cell phone, no internet. What started as disorienting exile became liberation in an intoxicating parallel universe, wonderfully wild yet seriously dangerous under a fading military dictatorship.

Between romances and midnight encores, clerico and discos, a gun to the head and random military searches, Alex rejected all expectations and discovered the joy of living moment to moment and leaping into the unknown with faith that things will be okay, or even better—unforgettable.

An extraordinary and passionate '80s ride—raw, analog, and impossible today.
