Sounds Like: "...the fuzzy guitar styles of the Jesus & Mary Chain...girl/boy vocal harmonies and classic ’50s and ’60s song structures...this is a really fun seven-song EP. The voices of Heather Flood and Patrick Rijd are spot-on, and Tom Flood’s fuzzy guitar work isn’t over the top, and it fills out the sound really well..." - Exclaim! Magazine
"(Love Kills) have thoroughly perfected the psychocandy wall-of-fuzz...sweetened by Heather Flood's unique, ethereal voice - less like My Bloody Valentine's Bilinda Butcher than a beehived Connie Francis on pills..." - NOW Magazine
"…Love Kills have a great energy, and their songs -- including the ones on their new EP, Carry Me Home -- have a very appealing rawness…('Suicide') will get stuck in your head for days on end, without complaint… The EP's title track has a beautiful chorus, and 'It's Leaving Me Down' and 'Now Caroline' quiet things down to let the vocals cut through the sonics. 'Let It Roll' picks things back up and features some of my favourite tambourine here, while 'Give Me Something I Can Love' makes great use of strings. It's solid throughout…Check them out live if you've got the chance; though they acquit themselves well on Carry Me Home, that's where they really shine." - TwoWayMonologues.com
“Just when you thought Toronto had revealed all its secrets, along comes Love Kills, a fantastic little band who have inexplicably failed to attract a buzz despite three promising EPs. Carry Me Home picks up where She’ll Break Your Heart and Teenage Girls left off, mixing heartachingly lovely harmonies with ultra-distorted Jesus and Mary Chain guitars.†– FFWD (Calgary)
“Cop this self-made EP by shoegaze pop emissaries of the ultra-hip Trinity Bellwoods neighbourhood. Then proceed into too-cool local haunts like Sweaty Betty's or the Communist's Daughter like you own the place.†– [NOW Magazine names Carry Me Home EP one of five best indie releases for 2008]
