The Reviews are in! Both of them!
Our 7 inch single has garnered praise from the highly regarded opinion pages of Maximum Rock N Roll and Razorcake magazines! 
Time to celebrate!  Better jump on this bandwagon before the champagne goes flat!

From Maximum Rock N Roll:

LOVE SONGS - "Hot Buns" EP

Oh LOVE SONGS, how we smile when we hear you.  LOVE SONGS have fun and do they ever push the limits of fun with this single.  "Hot Buns," with its puling keyboards and guitar leads, is right between cheesy '80's new wave and hair metal.  The beginning of the track has me thinking of EUROPE's "Final Countdown."  Nice pink, baby blue, purple, and yellow artwork to go along with the theme.  And the lyrics seem like they are referring to '80's arena rock.  The song is about the structure and attitude of these types of songs.  I can't even follow the lyrics/idea behind "I Miss My TV Set" but essentially it's a power pop tune.  Hardcore?  Nope.  Metal?  Nope.  Power Pop?  Maybe.  WEIRD AL?  You bet.

Here's what Razorcake had to say:

LOVE SONGS: Hot Buns (The Sequel to the Theme of the Sequel to Top Gun): 7"

I wish more bands were like Love Songs. I'm at a point if I go out to see a
band, I want to see a SHOW, and these guys deliver, full '80s heavy metal
meets Hickey attack and all. The A-side claims to be the sequel to the theme
of the sequel to Top Gun, and, well, it's just that. Don't be mad at me for
not being able to expand on it more than that, be happy there's a band that
will actually sit down, think of, and execute an idea like that. The B-side
is a more standard number, which I'm fairly sure isn't sung by Craig Ums,
but still great. Pick this up, as well as their underrated full lengths.
-Joe Evans III (Thrillhouse)
