READ

'This band will be massive. We've not been wrong before.'
Rough Trade

'Frantic and tender at the same time, Saturday night discos around the land could soon find Love Ends Disaster! provoking quirky dance moves out of their inhabitants, complete with the air punching which will inevitably follow.'
This Is Fake DIY

'A spiky spunky awkward set of delights.'
Organ Magazine

'That pleasantly exhausted feeling you get when you come off an Alton Towers ride is how you'll feel after listening to LED!...definitely worth getting your hands on.'
Sandman

'More wonderful Post Punk squalor from the loveliest LED! The raw shards of angular riffing they employ throughout this joyous nugget assures they’re head and shoulders above the competition… Genius!'
DrownedInSound

'Most bands would chew off their own legs to be able to write the kind of perfect pop songs that LED! seem to be able to muster up at will...Simply ace.'
Tasty Fanzine

'Sounds like nothing else we can think of! 8/10'
Rock Sound
