The Lovvers album!  Scuzz rocking, ear drum splitting punk rock genius, or just a shitty unpleasant noise?   We have two reviews for you, and a download link so you can make up your own mind.  In the red corner, we have Ben Munden.  He no likee.  Read Ben’s review. In the blue corner, we have Dave Taylor.  His ears are still ringing but there’s a...
New vid from the Lovvers. It’s like David Lynch directing the Blair Witch Project, with a soundtrack by The Exploding Hearts. Their debut album is due out soon. Should be a corker.
“If you have a barrier, look past it, fuck the barrier, deal with it.” Words to live by from Shaun Hencher, frontman of Nottingham-based kerblammo rock princes Lovvers. It’s not a metaphor for anything, he’s talking about an actual barrier, as in one that Lovvers might find between them and the audience. The fucking is probably a figure of speech too, but if you’ve...

lovvers MP3s

So, we had songs for lovvers lovers recently and now we have a taster of the real thing. AXTXTXIXUXDE is a sneak preview mp3 from the new Lovvers album and it’s very tasty indeed. The LP, "OCD Go Go Go Girls" is out on August 10th, preceded by the very similarly titled "OCD Go Go Girls" ep (spot the difference) on August 3rd Download AXTXTXIXUXDE
In a little less then the month you are going to be bombarded by an album called Dissolver from a band called Iran. People will try and tell you that this band is a side project of TV On the Radio’s because it includes Kyp Malone in the band and because Dave Sitek twiddled the knobs. All of this sort of makes sense, but if you delve a little deeper you will learn that Iran pre-dates TV On...
  rlVideo("f647f71076eee73e0da94656e3827833"); Lovvers are loud. Lovvers are filthy. Lovvers have churned out a debut EP of cruddy (in the best way!) punk jams that get the likes of Jay Reatard and Wipers in simultaneous full nelsons. Does that sound like a feat of strength? It is. "Wasted Youth" is about ninety seconds of such derring do, below and free of charge. Above is the...

lovvers Reviews

Without the veil of atmosphere and showmanship which marks Lovvers gigs as raucous, electric events, they have lost their greatest asset and on their album ‘OCD Go Go Go Girls’ they are a significantly diminished prospect.    Lovvers have produced a record true to their relentless and almost principled Lo-Fi ethic, yet despite their undoubtedly punk charm, I...
Venue: The Macbeth, London Teaser: They’re remorseless… they’ve evil… and they’re too fast to be photographed! Amy Rich braves the mullets of Hoxton to bring us this report on Saturday’s Lovvers gig. Pull quote 2: expecting them to stay still long enough to ‘say cheese’ for our photographer is out of the question… First para...
The Lovvers album is a sonic assault.  It’s not lo fi exactly - that suggests a kind of slap dash, no care attitude that Lovvers clearly don’t have.  It’s just… very loud.  It’s so far in the red it could be my bank account. It sounds like the band burst their speakers and the studio engineer’s ear drums with the first guitar chord.  They...
Band name: Singles for the week beginning December 17th Label: various indie schmindies Teaser: It’s been a quiet week for singles this week - but nobody told Lovvers to turn the volume down. They’re back with beastly slab of rock ‘n’ roll, and Cindy Suzuki’s here to take us through that, and the rest of the week’s releases… hit it...
