Helen Love (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helen Love are an indie band from Wales whose music is a combination of punk rock, bubblegum pop and disco dance music. The main thematic elements in their oeuvre are Joey Ramone, summer days and bubblegum music. They are credited with coining the term "Girl Power", on their debut single Formula One Racing Girls.

The band was formed in the early 1990s by the eponymous Helen Love, who claims only to listen to the music of The Ramones. Current members are Helen, Sheena, Beth and Corrine.

While none of their singles have yet troubled the UK Top 40, they have developed a devoted cult following in indie circles, particularly at indie discos, with songs including "Long Live The UK Music Scene", "Shifty Disco Girl", "Does Your Heart Go Boom?", "Who Stole the Starz?", "Punk Boy" and "Debbie Loves Joey".

Their songs have also been covered by Ash and The Queers.
