 New Album.... | | Posted by Jamie on Feb-04-2008 00:29 | E-mail from the band:
Hey Ho Pop Kids!
We've really got some catching up to do....
------- NEW ALBUM ------
Our new album is out now, in all good UK record shops, and probably some in other parts of the world too.
It's My Club And I'll Play What I Want To can be purchased in the form of extremely limited Bubblegum Pink Vinyl; a fancy dan CD digipack with a lyrics and pictures booklet; or on MP3 from those download places like iTunes.
It's got 16 ace tunes, including Debbie Loves Joey, Junkshop Discotheque, Stayin' In and the Spanish Top 20 smash It's My Club.
It's released by Elefant Records, and distributed Shellshock.
----- ALBUM PARTY -----
To celebrate the album finally coming out, Beth (casio) and Jamie (pictures) - aka The Bubblegum Killers DJ Team - will be playing some records and giving away some badges and mix CDs and whatever else we can find lying around. Maybe some Haribo? Some sort of sweets for sure.
This will be taking place at the LIPSTICK ON YOUR COLLAR club night, Upstairs at The Hatchet in Bristol, Saturday 23rd February.

------ NEXT ALBUM ------
Believe it or not, there is another one on the way, it's called STICK IT.
Anyway, thanks for reading, hope you like the album...
Helen, Sheena & Beth xxxxx

| ALBUM OUT NOW! | | Posted by Jamie on Nov-08-2007 14:51 | (...in Spain...)
But you can buy the album on CD and limited coloured vinyl direct from the label, Elefant Records.
Just click this link to got straight to the shop!
There is a lovely review by Guille Milkyway from the band La Casa Azul which reads as follows:
"I will never forget the interstellar high I got when I first bought and played “Punk boy” by HELEN LOVE, their third single, on my record player. The first time the needle made contact with the single, it became my single of preference of all time. Although this was more than 10 years ago, it’s still my favourite. I finally discovered what it was like to not be alone in the world knowing that there were other people out there who understood punk, who “got” the RAMONES, who appreciated bubblegum the same way that I did and would never want it to cease to exist. Each and every HELEN LOVE album gives me another chance to experience this instant euphoria over and over because their albums still tend to be the best albums of the year. The new songs could all possibly be immediate classics. Jam-packed with colourful pop icons and brilliant endless nostalgic memories of the history of pop: 60’s bubblegum pop personified, the omnipresent Joey Ramone, a tribute to “Jet” by the WINGS, referencing Rodney Bingenheimer and countless others. The product has scintillating melodies, poetic fun, biting guitars and playful synthesizers. Although it sounds like such a cliché, I must say that the new HELEN LOVE album sounds just like HELEN LOVE. Without a doubt, this makes the latest HELEN LOVE release, my album of the year".

| Helen Love Cover Album | | Posted by Jamie on Feb-19-2006 19:00 | Super! Girl's Own Records first release will be an album of Helen Love covers, entitled "Helen Love : We Love You".
They've already assembled a crack team of Top of The Pops artists to contribute their versions of Helen Love's greatest radio hits, but now it's your turn.
Below are the lyrics to "Yeah Yeah We're Helen Love", and by clicking here you can get the MP3 of the all-new version of the song that will appear on the tribute album.
All they need you to do is to record your vocals and send them in. Then a top pop producer will get behind the mixing desk and create the ultimate tribute song fan sing-along.
All entries received will be used, so send an MP3 or WAV file of your VOCALS ONLY to their email address 
Oh yeah, and send in your pictures for the video too.
Please try not to get any of the music in the recording, just the vocals!
