Love At Death Beach came into being in December 2009 and have been dreaming up ways to restart their bile-clogged hearts ever since. They are comprised of previous members of Fury of the Headteachers and one from Youth Movie Soundtrack Strategies' earliest incarnation, and channel the spirits of Pixies, mclusky and ATD-I into what their formaldehyde-addled brains think resembles pop. They've played some gigs with some bands (including Blood Red Shoes, Japandroids, Titus Andronicus, Dum Dum Girls and The Twilight Sad), and have just recorded a load of music with knob twiddler du jour James Kenosha. It's bassy, it's ferocious, it tries to be poetic: LaDB are attempting to light one last candle of sarcasm to celebrate the virtues of iniquity before sinking back into the slough of despond they call home (Sheffield).
