Love Bites are an English all-female pop punk[1][2] band from Atherstone, a small town in Warwickshire, The Midlands. The group formed in 2004 and disbanded in 2007, but reformed again in 2011.[citation needed]
Career
[edit]The band, named after the Def Leppard song, formed while the members were still in school.[3] They started out as a three piece group consisting of Danielle Graham, Aimee Haddon and Hannah Haddon with Nicki Wood later joining the band.[4] They did some touring and recording. In 2006, Wood left the band and was replaced by Beka Pritchard.[5] They broke up the next year.[4]
The band released their debut single, "You Broke My Heart", in October 2005. The single got to No. 13 on the UK Singles Chart.[6] Shortly after, the band went on a tour to schools in the UK.[7] The band released their second single, "He's Fit" in February 2006, which charted at No. 48.[8] An album, Love Sucks was planned[9] but was cancelled.
Love Bites formed again in 2019 for a music festival in their hometown of Atherstone, but now as a three piece, due to Nicki Wood, the second guitarist no longer taking part.[citation needed] Aimee, Hannah and Dani remained in the group.
They announced that they would continue to perform and would be writing and recording new material to be released sometime in the future.[citation needed]
