A largely electronic band formed in mid-1992, Love and Violence were for a short period a popular live act, playing (for example) the Discordia Concors release party in 1993, and a well attended gig at the University of Waikato's Orientation in 1993 (supporting Headless Chickens and Frente). They were also known to make appearances at regular electro-industrial specialist events, including The Bunker in Hamilton and Technohell in Auckland.
Love and Violence initially began life as a duo, featuring brothers Andrew Newth and Scott Newth. They released one tape, The Nth Times, on Airwigg in 1992. The album included the song Sin, featuring a lengthy sample of an American evangelist, which received much airplay on Contact 89FM at that time. Also in 1992, two early songs, Wish and Egyptian Paradise appeared on the compilation Just Teasing V1.
They soon decided that their live shows required more than vocals and electronica, and added Scott Brodie (of Spatula Death, and later Inchworm) on guitar in December 1992. The Nth Times was then re-released on CD in April 1993 with two bonus tracks (both featuring Brodie's guitar work), and had the distinction of being the first full-length internationally distributed CD release from a Hamilton band. The CD release party was held at Ward Lane Tavern on 22 April 1993, supported by Romantic Andes, and copies could be obtained at a discount rate if you held a coupon provided with the original tape.
Brodie had left the band in March, immediately prior to the CD release, to concentrate on Spatula Death, Inchworm, and his studies. His place was taken by Chris Fish, and later in their existence, drummer Marky Mark was added. Also in 1993 the Love and Violence track Violator appeared on the Discordia Concors CD, and Time Is Now appears on the They came to take us alive compilation.
Scott and Andrew Newth (along with drummer Marky Mark) went on to form FALLen in about 1994. The name change was due to the new direction the music was taking at the time. Chris Fish and Marky Mark also later appeared in Department of Corrections roughly between 1995 and 1997.
