The Galvatrons are a four-piece rock band who formed on 28 August 2007, in Geelong, Australia. Lead singer Johnny Galvatron stated on radio station 101.3 Sea FM on the Central Coast that the band got their name from the 1986 animated film Transformers. The Galvatrons cite their influences as Devo, Stan Bush, Australian Crawl, Van Halen, Lion, Cheap Trick, Kim Wilde, Queen, Stevie Nicks, Pat Benatar, Kenny Loggins, Tears for Fears and Gary Numan. The band have completed their debut album, as announced via their MySpace, which was released 3 July 2009.

The band's first taste of mainstream success was with the release of their debut single, When We Were Kids. The single was released from their debut EP, also titled When We Were Kids. It was released by Warner Music Australia on 3 May 2008. The title track was the number one most added track on radio in Australia for the week 19–26 April 2008. They played the Big Day Out, Meredith and Cherry Rock festivals in summer 2007/2008 and are touring Australia throughout 2008. They then played a festival tour in the United Kingdom alongside The Police at London's Hyde Park where they were evicted from the concert after allegedly singing Metallica songs loudly in the room next door to Sting.
