Love Pump was an Australian rock band popular in Perth in the 1980s. They were part of a renaissance of Western Australian performing acts that developed during this period, in the wake of the international punk rock and new wave movements - in isolation from the mainstream rock industry in Australia. This unique local musical culture has not been well documented or fully appreciated by histories of Australian popular music, tending to emphasise the culture of the 'Eastern States' - a cultural dichotomy that still exists in Australia today.

Perth was notable for having a vibrant musical scene that developed in isolation, being separated by many thousands of kilometres of desert from the other side of the continent - a geographical isolation that established a distinct cultural isolation and independence. This led to the development of a unique musical culture that modelled itself upon eclectic international musical influences, whilst developing a distinct sense of regional identity.

Love Pump was formed in 1985 by art-school friends Val Tarin (drums, vocals), Peter Morse (bass), Thomas Kayser (keyboards), Rodney Glick (rhythm guitar) and Fred Gilbert (vocals). In need of a lead singer and guitarist, Trevor Hilton (lead vocals and guitar) was invited to join - and soon became the principal songwriter of the group. The impulse behind the band was a set of common musical interests that ranged from experimental audio work to popular music parody. An earlier group, The Armchair (1984) had involved most of these performers - an avant-garde music sound performance group that used built and found instruments, along the lines of Einstürzende Neubauten. Having recognised the limited audience for noise performance, despite a cult following, the members of the band decided to terminate the group. Love Pump was formed as an explicitly 1970s pop satire group - a postmodern parody of the musical culture prevalent at the time.
