Tough Love is a record label based in Coventry, run by two humans you shouldn’t care less about. Vogue loth by accident and design since forever. We've been saying no to shots at the bar and good haircuts for years now. We're under the radar. We're poised in the bushes. It’s hard to tell what’s going to happen next. That would require a plan. Hand to mouth and back again, it’s a hard knock life for the young and middle class and we only get to holiday three times a year. But pace is the trick, so fuck you, Neil Young.
There’s a history for sure, but it’s not hard to work out; it's all there in compressed colour on your left and even more so to your right. Now purge those timid notions and stop rolling your eyes. Have one last taste of that milk before it turns so sour, but know we aint cream yet. There’s not much else worth speaking of that isn’t self-evident or unnecessary and thankfully there are more questions than answers. It would be a silly, silly world otherwise...It's a silly world anyway, but a little common sense please.

We also have a blog now, which we're trying, and trying so hard, to keep up-to-date. It's better than the one on here.

Saints and sinners, let HYSTERIA be the lost Eden of your childhood...

The launch party is just around the corner; so send your FULL NAMES for priority/concessions list over to us at LIST@HYSTERIACLUB.CO.UK or via our MySpace (myspace. com/hysteriaclub). Concessions and reduced entry will be for all those on the list or with a FLYER. Free treats, candy and goodies to give away for everyone, and Hysteria CUPCAKES for the first 100 people through the door... so make sure you are one of those 100!

Where others retrace well-trodden paths and humdrum tradtions, The Handsome Family go offroad to hunt down phantoms, to update forgotten myths and ancient black jokes — UNCUT
Dark, elemental, mischievous and mournful —MOJO
"The Handsome Family - as funny as fuck, as sweet as love, and as serious as death." - Uncut magazime.
Each song is like an abridged Flannery O'Connor story read aloud by Johnny Cash, hovering somewhere between the metaphysical and the mundane... - NME

Like fellow Liverpudlians Hot Club De Paris...with bouncy, choppy riffs and a very much danceable rhythm, synths swirl like a demented fairground ride while the boys perform fantastic, sing along harmonies. MAKE NOISE AND DANCE
Elks
Jerky post hardcore pop complete with rousing manic vocals. a bit like Fugazi and Charlottefield FOOTBALL
Rotary Ten
Latest signings to Xtra Mile (home of Dartz!) "'If The Smiths had gone to college in the US this might have been their sound. Complex, melodic guitar entwines with an 'anthemic' chorus. Possible classic.' The Observer
Beat The Radar
"catchy vocal melodies with precise backing vocals on top of angst guitar and clever drums create a package for success" SANDMAN MAGAZINE
Oh man. Didn't realise they were swinging back around after the euro shows - I'm making it my mission to to catch them in Liverpool. Your message saved the world.
