Love Battery is an American alternative rock band that epitomizes the distinct sound and spirit of the Seattle grunge scene in the early 1990s. Formed in 1989, the band was part of the wave of Pacific Northwest acts that combined the raw energy of punk with the heavy guitar sounds of hard rock, all while maintaining a psychedelic edge. Their name, Love Battery, is drawn from a song title by British punk band the Buzzcocks, which could be seen as a homage to their own influences and musical roots.
The band made its mark with the 1992 release of "Dayglo," a critically acclaimed album characterized by its swirling guitars and melodic hooks, which helped to establish them as a force to be reckoned with in the burgeoning grunge scene. This was followed by the equally compelling albums "Far Gone" in 1993 and "Between The Eyes" in 1995, which continued to build their reputation for crafting a textured, layered guitar sound paired with haunting lyrics. Their later works, including "Confusion Au Go Go" released in 1999, and "Harold's Pink Room" showcased the band's evolution, experimenting with broader influences while maintaining their core grunge identity. Despite never reaching the commercial heights of some of their Seattle contemporaries, Love Battery’s body of work has garnered them a dedicated following and a respected legacy within the alternative rock and grunge music communities.
