If you ask people to think of great indie guitar bands of the 80's most people rightly think of bands like The Smiths, The Mary Chain and The Wedding Present Most people don't think instantly of The House Of Love. And why ever not, Guy Chadwick certainly knew how to pen a mean tune, and they also had one of the best guitarists of that era in Terry Bickers. I recently gave the first album a listen for the first time in years and surprisingly it still sounds bloody good. The album still sounds fresh and relevant . There's not a bad track on the album but the stand out would have to this wave of sound that transports me back to the heady days of 1988 and somehow was never a hit in the UK !!
