Lovvers - OCD Go Go Go Girls

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 - OCD Go Go Go Girls

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 turned everything up anyway, they got drunk.  They played their songs and had the time of their lives.

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.

singles for THE week beginning december 17th - lovvers, mum, frightened rabbit and more!

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!

Rabbit, Rabbit All Day Long...
