Lovvers

On the MySpace web page, U.K. upstarts Lovvers concisely summarize their affects as “Bacteria. Wipers. SST.” And there’s small arguing that Lovvers’ aural blitzkrieg is made from the extra elements of the first 10 years of American punk rock and roll, though it is the method they combine the sloppy as well as the furious that really sets them aside. Made up of Shaun Hencher on vocals, Henry Withers on acoustic guitar, Michael Drake on bass, and Stephen Rose on drums, Lovvers shaped in Nottingham in 2006, and within a fortnight of their 1st rehearsal the music group had produced their general public debut. Seemingly ready to play anywhere anytime, Lovvers racked up over 200 gigs within their 1st 2 yrs, storming night clubs in both U.K. and European countries and starting for famous brands Instances New Viking, the Dark Lip area, Fucked Up, Foals, No Age group, as well as the Butthole Surfers. After self-releasing their initial recordings on CD-R, Lovvers discovered a like-minded record label in Jonson Family members Records, who released three 7″ Lovvers EPs in 2007. With time the group’s developing popularity — rave testimonials in the press peppered with provocative criticism, including a notice towards the editor in venerable hard rock and roll journal Kerrang! that defined the band’s live present as “extremely unpleasant” — captured the interest of well known indie label Wichita Recordings, who released the seven-song 12″/Compact disc Think in nov 2008.
