Love Battery - Between The Eyes
Very Bowie-ish but not so much Slade or Sweet.
Love Battery formed in 1989 in Seattle, with U-Men bassist Jim Tillman and Mudhoney drummer Dan Peters. Their name comes from a song by punk band Buzzcocks. Peters left early and Skin Yard drummer Jason Finn took his place. They released their debut, an EP entitled Between the Eyes in 1990, on Sub Pop. Two years later, their first full-length album Dayglo was released, which got great reviews. Soon after, Tillman left to pursue other interests. He was replaced at first by Tommy Simpson, who in turn left and Bruce Fairweather became the band's permanent bassist.
Between them, the members of Love Battery have over 40 guitars, maybe more. Bruce Fairweather has even had one of his put into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but that's another story. Guitars are an important theme to remember when thinking about Love Battery because no matter what term is used to describe their music or what tag is applied to their genre, the essence of the band is the sound of strings resonating.
