Following their critically acclaimed Creation Records’ debut, The House Of Love signed to Fontana and embarked on four years of non-stop recording and touring that would take them into the mainstream. Produced in association with founder, frontman and principle songwriter Guy Chadwick, 'Burn Down The World' takes an in-depth look at that period in the band’s career, both in the studio and onstage.
Featuring countless never before heard demos, lost tracks and live recordings sourced from Fontana’s archive, alongside rare fan club-only releases, compilation appearances, promotional versions and tracks never before available on CD, and accompanied by the thoughts of Guy Chadwick, 'Burn Down The World' sheds new light and insight on a rollercoaster ride which took House Of Love from indie darlings to mainstream globetrotters.
Presented in a deluxe slipcase box, and accompanied by a lavish booklet, this is a welcome opportunity to revisit in depth the career of one of the great bands of the proto-Britpop era of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Repromoted and repressed to coincide with The House Of Love's special 'Burn Down The World' show at The Electric Ballroom, London on 15th December.
