"Love War Riot" was released in 1989 as a 12" single, with a version of the oft covered "Eve of Destruction" on the B-side. Genesis P-Orridge formed Psychic TV following the breakup of Throbbing Gristle, the group essentially responsible for industrial music. The Psychic TV sound has changed countless times over the years, moving from post-industrial to acid-house to pop-psych, often held together only by the magickal trail ov breadcrumbs left as a cohesive thread by Genesis P-Orridge. "Love War Riot" is Psychic-TV doing their best Happy Mondays impression, a mix of clubby post-punk and acid-house that sounds as snarky and ready for the Haçienda dance floor as anything Shaun Ryder, Bez and company had to offer at that time.
