Hailing from Petaluma, CA, Love Equals Death's brand of rock draws influence from classic rock and horrorpunk, and appropriately enough, marks its birthday on Halloween night 2003. Soon after forming, the quartet vocalist Chon Travis, bassist Dominic Davi (exTsunami Bomb), guitarist Rosser, and drummer Tonio GarciaRomero recorded a foursong EP, 4 Notes on a Dying Scale, on Popsmear and started making a name for themselves around the Bay Area. Duffs then replaced Rosser on guitar, and more touring followed. Their next release, The Prelude, came out only in Japan in July 2005; the album contained demos along with their earlier EP. The Hucklebuck EP appeared in the US the following month, and next impressing Fat Mike with their live show, Love Equals Death signed to Fat Wreck Chords. Their Bill Stevensonproduced Fat debut, Nightmerica, was issued in March 2006 on CD and vinyl.
