The House of Love, formed in London in 1986 by singer-songwriter Guy Chadwick and guitarist Terry Bickers, emerged as a seminal force in the late 1980s alternative rock scene. Their debut single "Shine On" (1987) and the critically acclaimed self-titled album (1988) showcased their distinctive blend of neo-psychedelia and indie rock. Known for intricate guitar work and evocative lyrics, the band produced notable tracks like "Christine" and "Destroy the Heart." After a hiatus in the 1990s, they reunited in 2003, continuing to influence the indie music landscape with their enduring sound.
