Love Spit Love is a Alternative, Post-Grunge band formed by Richard Butler after the split of The Psychedelic Furs. They produced two well-reviewed, but mostly ignored albums during the 1990s before breaking up before 2000. They are probably best known for their cover of The Smith’s “How Soon is Now?”, a version would go on to be used as the theme song to Charmed.

Love Spit Love was formed after the hiatus of front man Richard Butler’s main band. He would be joined by guitarist Richard Fortus, whose band Pale Divine had opened for the Furs during their final US tour. Once they had enlisted drummer Frank Ferrer, they decided to form a group and name it after a 1991 performance art exhibit Butler had seen in New York.

The band would go on to release two albums. Their first, Love Spit Love, would be released in 1994 and contained the minor hit “Am I Wrong?”. A marching-band enhanced version of this song would be added to the soundtrack to the movie Angus. In 1997, the band followed up with Trysome Eatone, after a battle with their former label. The album would spawn two singles, “Long Long Time”, and “Fall on Tears”.

Love Spit Love announced their hiatus in 2000, when Richard Butler returned to the Psychedelic Furs. Both Richard Fortus and Frank Ferrer would go on to play sporadically with the Furs before touring with other bands. They both now find themselves members of the Guns N' Roses touring act. Richard Butler continues to tour with the Psychedelic Furs.
