Deep Pink Love is a hardcore band of musical mothers from Halifax, NS. These rocking mums grew up in the extremely fertile musical soil of the 1980's musical scene in Halifax, a scene which produced Sarah McLachlan, Sloan, and others. DPL put their music on hold for a while, having careers and then starting families, but, now that their kids are in school, they've picked up where they left off in high school.

DPL jams during school hours, then plays increasingly well attended gigs in the evenings (usually after bed- and story time). Love Bites is their first recording, containing 15 original tracks, ranging is style from harcore reggae to lullabies.

(This is my friend's daughter at a birthday party today.)

This is a great shot, the over-sat works very well. Could be a real cover!

One of the best album covers in the bunch. You really got the feel of a band captured in this photo, in addition, it's hilarious. Clearly, your score sucks and it should have been much, much higher.

I was one of your 8's - I think this is most creative and really looks like an album cover. Robbed for sure!

All I am going to say is underrated. This is the epitome of a modern album cover.

I really don't understand why this did not go better - it was excellent - over the top and hilarious!

Hey there from the Critique Club

I'll echo some of what your previous commenters have already said. This one is so nice because it is so over the top. I agree that the over-saturation and the boldness of this capture would make it a perfect album cover. I like your depth of filed, as well as the grain you created with the over saturation. Nice work, and I agree that you were robbed on this one. This would absolutely make a terrific album cover!

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

This was just so bizarre and over-the-top that it BEGS to be on a real album. I love it!

Lol, just looked through and found posthumous leaving pretty much the comment I expected :D

Like this one ... the deep saturated colors and goofy image give this a strong 80s feel. 7

How can you go wrong with Deee-Lite glasses? the colors in this are just perfect. I could easily imagine this in an indie record store, if such things still exist. Unfortunately I know you're a teammate so I will refrain from voting. This would have gotten a big score from me. (I guess this is xianart)

Good for an album cover. Really jumps out at you and grabs your attention. I like the way you did the text too.

Heh! It does indeed look like something you'd see on an album cover.
