Love Spit Love emerged in 1992 as an alternative rock project fronted by Richard Butler during a creative break from his primary band, the Psychedelic Furs. The group blended post-punk sensibilities with darker alternative rock textures, carving out a distinctive sonic space within the 1990s alternative landscape.
Across two studio albums, Love Spit Love established themselves through moody, atmospheric arrangements and Butler's distinctive vocal presence. Though the project concluded its active run by 2000, the band's work remains a notable chapter in 1990s alternative rock, showcasing Butler's artistic range beyond his iconic work with the Psychedelic Furs.
