Hailing from the town of West Covina, CA, A Love Ends Suicide combines elements of screamo and metalcore with the flashy guitar technique more typical of straight-up heavy metal. Getting their start in 2004, the group, which is curiously composed of four brothers with two last names: vocalist John Cairoli, guitarist Oscar Cairoli, bassist/clean vocalist Emir Abdo, and drummer Andres Abdo -- plus second guitarist Matt Garcia, recorded an independent debut called The Cycle of Hope the following year. They then signed with indie powerhouse Metal Blade for the release of their second full-length, In the Disaster. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
