My personal favorite:
love680 sounds like when The Ramones meet James Taylor and Robert Goulet in the bathroom while Stephen Merritt and Leonard Cohen wash their hands at the sink.
Like Love Seed Mama Jump....only.....without the mama jump, but we do have the "love seed" -hahahhaa.
Give ol' love680 a listen
This is part of the song Wait that Royce got on my canon powershot camera.
love680 (all lower case) was formed in my apartment here in Virginia - DC Metro Area.

Frequently Asked Questions:
----------------------------------
Where did the name Love680 come from?
---------------------------------------------------
Love680 stems from the fact that bands and musicians use the word Love too often in their songs and the glamrock bands of the 80s/early 90s - that includes Van Hagar people - started singing too much about love.
So....Love680 decided to do something about it.
Love680 has decided that once we have used the word ' Love ' 680 times, the band will break up.....That's right....once again, proving that Love is not forever.....it's a passing fancy.
And, let's be real. Do we really believe that? Well...not really, but, it does give us a crutch to break up if we decide to do that.

Hi John! How are you mate, hope all is well. I’ve been really busy and getting a bit of publicity! I had a full page feature in my local newspaper and I’m being featured in a national newspaper (The Sunday Express) this weekend, hopefully this will produce some cash, as I’m running out of beer!
