information:
Love Like… Electrocution was an incredibly influential emoviolence band from Adelaide, Australia. They existed, roughly, from 2002 to 2006.
Members Garth, Dave, Brett, Tom, Rowan and Timmy practiced for a week before their first show and somehow managed to go through through four guitars, a microphone and a light fitting. They had another gig a few weeks later, then decided to record their first EP, "She Was Red Hot".
They traveled to Melbourne for a weekend in early August 2002, returned and played around Adelaide for a few months before Tom (vocals) decided to leave the band and concentrate on his other band, St Alban's Kids, situated in Melbourne.
The release of their second record was in late May 2003 which collected five new tracks and the "She Was Red Hot" EP. The EP had sold out and was in demand so they decided to re-release it with new tracks as a full length.
Following significant lineup changes and local favor, they toured extensively throughout Australia with the likes of The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Bronx and Death From Above, and released a split EP with This Night Creeps to coincide with their New Zealand tour, before finally disbanding towards the end of 2005.
Something about this band just really does stand head and shoulders above nearly all others, hence why they are still (kind've) spoken about to this very day. A true cornerstone of the Australian emo lineage.
