Love And Rockets is the seminal, groundbreaking trio of Daniel Ash (vocals and guitar), David J (vocals and bass) and Kevin Haskins (drums). Formed in 1985 after the first split of their band Bauhaus, Love and Rockets provided a clean slate and an opportunity to plumb the depths of imagination and influences. Our 2023 reissue series continues with their third album Earth, Sun, Moon, and their self-titled fourth album. Both titles were remastered by Sean McGee at Abbey Road Studios.
Everything changed for Love and Rockets in 1989 when they released their self-titled fourth album. The song “So Alive” reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the album attained gold status. The song reached No. 1 in Canada and charted within the top 30 in Australia, and New Zealand. In the US, it was #1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart for five weeks and was ranked No. 1 on that listing’s year-end chart for 1989. Billboard wrote that “So Alive” was “the best T. Rex tune that Marc Bolan never wrote.”
