LOVE AND ROCKETS - SEVENTH DREAM OF TEENAGE HEAVEN Vinyl LP

Love and Rockets is the seminal, groundbreaking trio of Daniel Ash (vocals and guitar), David J (vocals and bass) and Kevin Haskins (drums). They 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.

The band's 1985 debut albumSeventh Dream of Teenage Heavenwas an unashamedly psychedelic adventure, far removed from the dark, angular soundscapes of Bauhaus. Yet they had to fight hard to avoid being branded 'goth', citing Syd Barrett, Marc Bolan and the later period Beatles as primary influences.
