[edit] Biography
Love Kills's first release was May 2006's She'll break your heart E.P. - a seven-song EP with short, melodic, Phil Spector-ish pop songs which borrowed heavily also from Danish alt-rock duo The Raveonettes, as well as the Jesus and Mary Chain.[2] The EP was produced and distributed independently, but gained them a respectable following within the Toronto indie music scene, with selections from the EP being aired on CBC Radio One's All In A Day program.[3]
The band's second release was December 2006's Teenage Girls - a 4-song EP which was released on December 19, 2006 to coincide with their Nu Music Nite appearance at Toronto's venerable Horseshoe Tavern.
Love Kills's latest release is 2007's Carry me home (EP) which sees the addition of two cellists to their 5-piece electric lineup. The 6-song EP was released independently in May at Neu+ral Underground's Kensington Station night.
The band have yet to release a full-length album.
