The Manhattan Love Suicides is a UK-based rock band from Leeds, originally active between 2006 and 2009, and which reformed in 2013.
The band takes its name from a 1985 short film by Richard Kern and was influenced by acts such as The Velvet Underground and The Jesus & Mary Chain.Allmusic's Tim Sendra described the band as having "...knack for buzzy three-minute guitar pop tunes" and Pitchfork Media's Marc Hogan referred to their style as "...feedback-streaked guitar pop..." Their eponymous debut album was released in 2006 in the UK as vinyl-only (although it was made available in the US in CD format through the Magic Marker record label) and a 27-track compilation, entitled Burnt Out Landscapes, followed two years later. The band announced they had split on 28 June 2009 on their MySpace page.
The band reformed in 2013 with "(Never Stop) Hating You" appearing on YouTube, and released a new album More Heat! More Panic! in March 2015.
