It's been a while but at last L.E.D are ready to hit the INFX recording studio from September 21st-24th to record the E.P. Currently titled 'Stories for the Dislocated' the CD will contain upto 4 songs and if all goes well they will include:

1.) T.V.
2.) Sendai
3.) This New Wave
4.) Warning: Robots

Moscow Youth Cult (Guitarist Jon's electro/post-rock outfit) have had thier first gig at The Attik. (Pictures can be seen on the images live page). Love Ends Disaster! have also recently had articles in The Buckinghamshire Free Press and other North London papers regarding the build up to the recording. The Dublin Castle gig was nuts (mega thanks to all who attended) and there are some fruity pictures of Jon and Rob eating All-Bran in the car circulating somewhere. The next gig is at The White Horse in High Wycombe and don't forget to join the Denial Records Forum for music chat and other random words.

Hurray! We have signed with North London label Denial Records to record and distribute an E.P. featuring up to 5 songs. It will be recorded in INFX Studio, High Wycombe in September this year with a release by the end of the year. Our producer is Warren Barrett who has produced for The Fall and more recently for Bloc Party. We also have a gig lined up at Dublin Castle (London) so if you live down south... be there!. Jon's off to Japan for 3 weeks after our Boat Club gig, whilst Oakes and Pete have been busy having all the fun in Glastonbury. Won't be long before we play it I'm sure...uhem....! Join the Denial Records Forum and see you at Dublin Castle!

We are close to signing a contract with Denial Records to produce a Love Ends Disaster! E.P. This will be a one off release recorded and produced in High Wycombe. We have also continued to get great reviews for ‘Volume II’ from Logo Magazine and Raw Nerve Promotions and Do Something Pretty fanzine so check out the reviews page. Pete is currently slaving away at his exams so he’d appreciate it if you could all telepathically help him pass the year in flying colours, Oakes is currently fitting in nicely at a Scouting magazine and Jon is off to Japan for a 3-week break in July. We have a few gigs lined up with the awesome Among the Missing so come along to a gig at the end of May!

It's been a silent but violent month for us muppets of late. Some great reviews! See the reviews for the latest feedback on Volume II. A Compilation CD from Hotwired Radio now features us and Atticus, so go buy it now for only £3.60!!Expect a change to the images page soon and also some kind of shop where you can grab yourself a fetching white or b/w 'Love Ends Disaster!' design made by our extraordinary drummer Pete. More CD's will be available at Junktion 7 on 30th April and don't forget we are to headline FREE-FEST at Loughborough Students Union on Monday 3rd May! One not to miss.

Hurrrayyy!! Volume II - By Love Ends Disaster! has now been completed. The songs include John Majors Mega Drive, Sendai and This New Wave and is downloadable on the music page or a CD via matt@loveendsdisaster.co.uk. On the 2/3/04 Love Ends Disaster! Won a Battle of the Bands round in the metal swamp of Long Eaton against the quite lovely 'Sleepyhead'. The judges were harsh but fair to us all, except one rather bizzarre judge who forgot to score us out of 10 and instead wrote a whole absurd page of diary-esque psycho babble. See this nonsense here. During the same week we came through the Free-Fest auditions unscathed, minus Rob, to secure a place in the Loughborough Students festival in May, later to find out they are to headline the day by performing at 9:10pm!

So it's been a little quiet round here of late, but things are about to become a whole lot louder in the next few weeks. During the weekend Love Ends Disaster! have been recording Volume II a 3 song disc of studio quality tracks with the soundmen from Mars, Johnny Nott and none other than James Brown! The songs include John Majors Mega Drive, Sendai and This New Wave and will be available within the next few weeks. Email matt@loveendsdisaster.co.uk and ask for your copy of Volume II complete with your name and address. Drowned in Sound reviewer Dom Gorlay has added his latest offerings of our live gig on 19/2/04 which can be seen here: www.drownedinsound.com and guitarist Jon has been crowned best solo artist of 2004 by www.leicestermusicscene.co.uk. Lovely, now anyone for a Wagon Wheel?

Welcome back. It's been a festive few weeks and it's good to be back. 2003 was a year of maturity and neutrality for Love Ends Disaster! Oakes lost a job but gained facial hair, Rob got a job and provided a warm shelter for unwanted Christmas pets, in his trusty afro, Pete, the savage, admitted to shaving every last hair on his body, possibly for opposite reasons, Matt learned to hit E on his bass and moved to Nottingham whilst Jon ate all the pies and plans to run to Japan in the near future taking the pies with him. Roll on 2004. (Our gigs are more exciting than we are....believe me) We also have an 'Love Ends Disaster! Artsite' on the web where we have, and will continue to post, slide-shows of weird and wonderful artwork, 4-track absurdities and a if demand surfaces, a day-to-day diary on Oakes pants. Have a visit to www.loveendsdisaster.50megs.com and let us know what you think.Studio version of 'Sendai' and 2 new songs 'This New Wave' and 'John Majors Mega Drive' due to be recorded in early late February, hopefully studio quality this time!.
