Love Battery is an American psychedelic rock/grunge band from Seattle, Washington.

For the most part Love Battery was an unusual group in the early 90's Seattle music scene. Blending intense swirling psychedelic guitar work, pulsating rhythms, driving beats and heartfelt vocals derived from '60s garage/psych, '70s punk rock, '80s post punk and '90s grunge, their music was significantly more complex than most of the music associated with that era.

Although they never achieved the commercial success of many of their contemporaries, they nonetheless retained a fervent cult following that continues to this day.

Love Battery was formed in 1989 by former Room Nine leader Ron Nine (b. Ron Rudzitis), guitarist Kevin Whitworth (ex-Crisis Party), bassist Tommy "Bonehead" Simpson (also ex-Crisis Party) and Mudhoney drummer Dan Peters. Their name came from a song of the same name by British punk band the Buzzcocks.

Before releasing their first single Peters left the group and was replaced by ex-Skin Yard drummer Jason Finn. With this lineup the band released their debut single Between The Eyes for seminal Seattle record label Sub Pop. By 1990 Simpson had been replaced by ex-U-Men bassist Jim Tillman. With this lineup the band released their debut EP Between the Eyes in 1990, again on Sub Pop. This record was later expanded and released as their first full-length album in 1991. Following the Between The Eyes EP were the Foot singles and Out Of Focus EP.

In 1992 the band recorded and released what many consider their finest record Dayglo. In the Sub Pop catalog, Dayglo was listed as "Blotter not included" a play on "Batteries not included" instead referring to LSD. Soon after, Tillman left to pursue other interests. He was replaced at first by original bassist Tommy Simpson, who in turn was replaced by ex-Green River and Mother Love Bone guitarist Bruce Fairweather.

In 1993 the Far Gone album appeared, which to many was considered a disappointment following Dayglo's critical success. Initially Far Gone was to be released by PolyGram Records but due to contractal problems with Sub Pop Records, Far Gone was dumped by the major label. Instead an inferior 'rough mix' of the album was released by Sub Pop, a problem which Love Battery planned to rectify by remixing and reissuing but never did.

Following the Far Gone fiasco, Love Battery signed with Atlas Records in 1994 releasing the Nehru Jacket EP late in the year. It contained 2 songs that also found their way onto 1995's Straight Freak Ticket album which was also released on Atlas in 1995. The label failed to promote the band and album properly however which resulted in poor sales. Shortly thereafter Finn left the group to join The Presidents of the United States of America who quickly found success later in the year.

A prolonged period of uncertainty ensued following Finn's departure with an array of drummers brought in as his replacement including original drummer Dan Peters and ex-Posies and Fastbacks drummer Mike Musburger. The band practically disappeared until the release of their fifth album Confusion Au Go Go in 1999. This time around drummers Peters, Musburger and Finn all contributed to the album although Peters took on a majority of the work.

Following the release of Confusion Au Go Go Love Battery remained for the most part quiet. A few one off performances were made in 2002 featuring Tommy Simpson returning on bass and Finn and Peters on drums. After a prolonged period of inactivity the band played their first show in 4 years on June 23, 2006 at Neumo's in Seattle, WA. The current lineup consists of Nine, Whitworth, Simpson and Musburger.

Grunge is about a generation of lost youth in industrial city`s which suffered the depression of the Reagan years and inherited their parents bad social place in the world... Like punk it is about the generations frustration of their situation in society and its economics... (food, basic needs)

BTW 2 of my friends started this band. I went to the opening show at 4th and Virginia dance studio . They played with Nirvana (before Bleach was released). I'm sorry if I sound elitist. Im not, just hate people acting like "grunge experts".

God these music experts bug me when they talk about my own scene. "Grunge" is a joke word, folks. Was invented by Dave duet of cat butt. Anyways. Love battery were a psychedelia band meets punk. 1989. Many different incarnations. Ron was in a band called Room 9 that used to play 1983. Great stuff. There was no "movement" BTW. It was all just considered punk. Lol STFU.

plus whats wrong with bands going big? they need to make a living and put food ect on the table to.plus you can go big without changing your sound for someone else,just be prepared to take on the record company

yeah true that nyckelwound :i think grunge is what you make of it: like there a little bit right when they say that grunge is dirty.but what all grunge bands have in common is they have a large range of music influences,like the melvins started playing jimmy Hendrix songs,sonic youth covered some mud honey songs and nirvana covered led zeppelin songs. all grunge bands are gonna be different from the next and thats great

some of you have said youre resentful about grunge becoming comercial. why? the greatest bands from that era dont deserve comercial popularity and fame? look, truth is any genre is going to have its doucher ripoffs, like everyone in the post grunge alternative genre, but that doesnt mean making the good bands famous and "comercial" is bad. indie is cool, it adds cred. but they need money to put food on the table too. and a huge table for their huge house. lol.

grunge is just a name for a movement IMO. It was just a way to try and make it a comercial thing. Eitherway we can all agree that it kicks ass
