Love/Hate came up through the Los Angeles glam metal scene with a singer called Jizzy Pearl and a sound that had a lot more grime under its fingernails than the hairspray brigade around them. Columbia Records put out Blackout in the Red Room in 1990, and it's a loud, loose, sleazy record: fat riffs, a rhythm section that swings as much as it stomps, and Pearl howling his way through the title track and "Rock Queen" like the party has been running for three days straight.
Pearl sang with them until 1999 and came back in 2002, and his is the name that holds the story together. Jon E. Love, Skid Rose, Joey Gold and Darren Housholder have all been in the ranks, and the current four-piece puts Pearl alongside guitarist Stevie Pearce, bassist Christian Kimmett and drummer Mickey Richards.
