Alt rock/punk band The Love Kills Theory has two new videos. Recently
produced is "Suicide Girls," which is an animated project created by
Julie Lopez, an up-and-coming video artist. Suicide Girls is about
addiction to TV, computers or any other device that produces a
simulacrum of "reality."

One is called "the love kills theory," which is a song on the group's
album, "Happy Suicide, Jim!" The video shows the pretty French Maids
dusting one another and -? ultimately -- having a pretty messy pillow
fight. The maids represent the opiate spectacle for the masses and
serve as exploited representations of seductive diversion. The video
also includes excerpts of fights on the street, images from "Happy
Suicide, Jim!" graphics, and quotes from the song, "The Love Kills
Theory."
Cevin directed The Love Kills Theory video, and Frenchmaidtv.com
supplied the maids for the video, "I knew that French Maid TV had a
following and also had a great approach and sense of humor. Tim Street
has since posted the video on several sites where I have also posted
the video, but he gets 10,000 times as many viewers!" Therefore, look
for the video as "The Love Kills Theory" at

Ultimately every song on "Happy Suicide, Jim!" will be turned into a
video.
The Love Kills Theory video has just hit #21 on the MV SPY video
charts at http://www.mvspy.com. In additon the group was a recent
featured artist on both ARTISTDirectnetwork's and ReverbNation's
homepages. In an article for the UK's DIESEL magazine, Giuseppe
Fabulosso expressed how she was a convert to the Love Kills Theory's
well, defined philosophical belief that society's pursuits for
indulgences makes us soulless consumers. She noted that Cevin Soling
(whose first name is pronounced Kevin") is the driving force of the
group, and he "takes some comfort from the fact that 'if we succumb to
the allure of commodity fetishism and become hopelessly bound to an
existence of inescapable alienation,' at least he warned us. I reckon
we would do well to heed his warning and I totally dig the video..."
The Love Kills Theory is -- indeed -- the only band to espouse a
coherent and fully developed philosophy. It is based on an amalgam of
the works of Guy Debord, founder of Situationist International, Aldous
Huxley, and others, fused with the current bio-genetic studies on the
evolution of despair.

THE LOVE KILLS THEORY
The world's at odds with our genetic make up
We're taught to sleep, but not to wake up
Things we buy are the things we hold dearly.
We're in love with the love kills theory.
Something's wrong but you just can't name it
Cream once rose, but now the dregs are famous
You want to see, but your vision is bleary
Your eyes are fixed on the love kills theory.
We chain ourselves to a faceless past
Cling hard to things that don't last
Cultural stasis is our fight sincerely
'cause we live in the love kills theory
When you wonder why all good is fading
Things you're wanting become things you're hating
What sustained you now makes you weary
You're addicted to the love kills theory.
