The Love Shots are a “deathwop” band from Elgin, IL. Drawing influences from 50’s doo wop bands, punk bands such as The Ramones and The Misfits, as well as post-punk bands such as The Smiths, Joy Division, etc… they have created a sound all their own. They formed in 2007 with Danny Craig on guitar and Johnny Perrin on drums. Johnny and Rob Nelson had played in several bands prior to The Love Shots, so he was quickly picked up for bass duties. Johnny took a break from the band in early 2009 right before recording a 6 song self titled EP in Gallery of Carpet Studios with friend Steve Jones filling in on drums and Brian Zieske on the soundboard. Johnny has returned to the Love Shots as of the summer of ’09. With recent airtime on 93.1WXRT’s Local Anesthetic and a successful appearance at Metro Chicago, The Love Shots are starting to gain exposure.
