396.0. "Never - House of Love" by VANGRD::STURROCK () Tue Apr 11 1989 21:32

    The House of Love - New Single - Never
    
    Well they have done well for themselves on the indie scene what
    with the Festive 50 going to them and being heralded as newcomers
    of the year in N.M.E.
    
    But this, hmmmm, well, I don't know what to say really...Still a
    great sound and everything but it certainly doesn't Destroy the
    Heart. Step in the wrong direction but not too far backwards for
    me to go off them.

396.2I need it and I wanna careBAHTAT::STURROCKWed Apr 19 1989 19:237
    It's entered the N.M.E. charts at 43 so it's probably not made the
    Gallup top 40.
    
    Also the live dates planned for Edinburgh and Leeds have been postponed
    cos they've got alot on in the studio, or so it sayes here...

396.3Never gonna let you down...BAHTAT::STURROCKWed Apr 26 1989 14:156
    Never is in the Top 40!!! It's at 33 in the N.M.E. chart so a jump
    of 10 places this week.
    Live dates have been put back to August for Leeds...don't know about
    the others

    Does anyone know if "Destroy the Heart" is available on cd single?
    If so, what other tracks are on it?

    Bruce,
    
    Just to let you know that I did purchase there last single, but
    never bought anything else, I haven't seen anymore of their material
    could maybe give us a discography of their hits etc.

396.6It'll make you wanna smash your head!42820::STURROCKTimes tide will smother me...Thu Jun 22 1989 19:3537
    Well I can tell you what I know...which I think is quite a lot...
    
    There first single was 'Shine On' released errmmmm early 88?
    Then theres a mini album available of all there really early stuff.
    Next came the single 'Christine' released summer 1988
    
    Their album followed...on Creation and called simply 'The House
    Of Love'  it includes tracks like....
    
    Christine
    Hope
    Road
    Man to Child
    Love In a Car
    Salome
    
    (sorry can't remember any more!!!)
    
    Next came what has to be their greatest track....
    The 'Destroy The Heart' single...made No.1 of the 1988 John Peel
    festive 50 (No mean feat!)
    Next came 'Never'
    And an album is "imminent".
    
    They are now on Fontana and are currently Pi*sed off with the major
    label because of the amount of money spent on recording and promoting.
    For example they have had to fly over to America just because there
    producer can't be bothered to fly to them.
    
    The 3 dates in Leeds are now completly cancelled, because of such
    stupid recording procedures and a single date at the Polytecnic
    is to be arranged for November.
    
    Sorry for the vagueness of the discography but it should give you
    an idea of what to buy!
    
    Bruce.

    I heard the new HoL single on Peelie's show lsat night. It's called
    'I don't know why I love you', and I must say I like it a lot. It
    has those cranked-up (but not too distorted) guitars that I like
    to hear, and is fairly tuneful with a strong beat.
    
    I remember seeing them on TV a while back, doing Destroy the Heart,
    and remember being pretty impressed then - I think I'm going to
    take the plunge and get the lp(s).
    
    Any news of upcoming tours/gigs in the London area?
