Love Comes to an End is an extended play by Machine Gun Fellatio. The extended play was released in 1997 by Mushroom Distribution Services.

Machine Gun Fellatio were formed when members of two Sydney bands, Vrag and Limebunny, combined together in 1997.[1] The bands had previously collaborated on projects and had released a compilation record, Unsound Sounds, which included a track by Vrag, "Isaac or Fuzz". "Isaac or Fuzz" comprises of parts of a voice message left on a record company answering machine asking for the name of the song that goes "Da da da da...." (the song consists mostly humming of the tune "Reach Up" by the Paul Oakenfold-related project Perfecto Allstarz) put to a fast dance beat.[2] In an interview Glenn Dormand (aka Chit Chat Von Loopin Stab) explained "We got a wrong number on our answering machine. We rang the number back. It was a local Pizza Hut. Basically, they said 'Isaac hasn't been here for a long time, and Fuzz isn't reliable either'."[3] The song received significant airplay on national youth broadcaster Triple J.[1][3][4] To capitalise on the success of the song they consolidated the band lineup and released their debut EP Love Comes To An End.[1]

There are reportedly less than 500 copies in existence, Pinky Beecroft once stated in an interview they dumped boxes of their first ep in a skip when they realized they would never sell them. This EP is sometimes referred to as Isaac or Fuzz, after their record label stuck stickers proclaiming that it contained the single "Isaac Or Fuzz" to try to increase sales by capitalising on the air play of the song on Triple J.
