The Manhattan Love Suicides burnt bright between 2006 and 2009. Taking their ferocious sonic assault all over the UK and further afield to New York and SXSW twice. They released one full rough and raw sounding studio LP, a clutch of 7″ singles and EPs, plus a bumper 27 track compilation CD in their four(ish) years together.

In 2009, the band came to an unexpected halt and that, so we thought, was that for The Manhattan Love Suicides.

Then, at the tail end of 2013, a new song appeared completely out of the blue on YouTube – (Never Stop) Hating You. A rough mix, and unmastered, but a taste of what was to come. It meant the band were back and will release their second full length LP, More Heat! More Panic! in early 2015. While the record stays true to their three minute buzzsaw guitar attacks, it also showcases a band comfortable in trying new things and tempering the noise with a tender side. But noise fans can rest assured that the band haven’t forgotten about their fuzz pedals. This album delivers all the noise and fury you’d expect. It also delivers a few things that might just surprise you.

Want proof? Then try (Never Stop) Hating You…
