The band's name was taken from the comic book series by Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez. Gilbert later referred to the confusion caused by this in his book Love and Rockets X, in which there were several different bands named "Love and Rockets" for a period.

Despite their previous band's status as gothic rock icons, Love and Rockets moved away from that genre, as demonstrated by their first minor hit being a cover of the Motown classic "Ball of Confusion". Their first album release, Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven (1985), leaned more towards post-punk, psychedelic music and proto-rave atmospheres. Their second release, Express (1986), continued in that vein. It included the dance hit "Yin and Yang (the Flowerpot Man)." The 1987 follow up Earth, Sun, Moon had a folkier sound and spawned the minor hit "No New Tale to Tell."
