Announcement and release
The song was first announced by the band on The Midnight Beast website on 1 February 2013.[1] Along with the announcement, it was also stated the EP would feature exclusive remixes by Hadouken! and Drums N’ Kicks (feat. Mr E Nigma). There was a link to the trailer for the song. The song was released on Valentine's Day of 2013 to continue with the theme (although used in dark humor) of love.[2]
Video
On the same day the EP was released, the video for "Love Bites" (at 4 minutes and 32 seconds long) was uploaded to YouTube. The video features Abingdon talking about his new girlfriend (played by Kathryn Prescott)[3] who is a zombie. He then takes her on a double date with Wakely and his girlfriend, which ends with Wakely saying "Stef I think it's obvious your girlfriend here is gay". The girl then proceeds to attack Wakely and his girlfriend and bites Abingdon, who turns into a Zombie. The video ends with the words "To be continued", and a snippet of an unreleased song.[4]
