Between the Eyes is the debut single by Seattle-based rock band Love Battery, released in 1989.[3][4] In 1990 and 1991, the release was expanded and reissued as an LP with bonus tracks.

Critical reception[]

The single landed at #36 on Paste's list of the "50 Best Grunge Songs"; Paste called the LP "a stripped-down, gut-churning collection of gritty guitars and vox."[5] The Stranger wrote that the LP, and its follow-up, Dayglo, "remain psychedelic twin towers" in the catalog of Sub Pop.[6]
