OUTTA HELL, California somewhere not a million miles from Hollywood came the venomous eight-legged scuttling beastie known as Love/Hate. After four years of living (almost literally) In the gutter and trying every which way but blues to make a living; ideas became demos became a deal with CBS became the album 'Black Out In The Red Room' became the greatest debut album this decade has yet seen.
The live shows built around it began Stateside then claimed their first European victims at a low-key high-voltage debut in London's Borderline Club back on April 22, 1990. I'll never forget the way the band took the stage that night; exploding with all the subtlety of a nailbomb at a christening after coming on one-by-one to the slowburning fuse of a Jimi Hendrix tape... first drummer Joey Gold, then livewire guitarist Jon E Love, followed by the bassist Skid brandishing a cross made from Budweiser cans and finally madman/badman Jizzy Pearl threatening to scalp the front few rows with a blood-red spray-paint flag.

This live EP recorded recently in Cleveland Ohio - captures all of that and more, then confirms what even a dead man couldn't fail to notice: as the months have passed, Love/Hate have only got better and better. Just like the album, in fact.
If you've seen them before, here's a unique souvenir. If you've yet to cross their path, here's the reason why, for you... it is now only a matter of time.
Neil Jeffries, Kerrang!
