Lovvers are a new band to me and this 7" single is their third single. I've not stumbled upon their earlier singles - all of which have been released on Johnson Family Records. The band are a four piece from Nottingham and they're living proof that taking your influences from the 80s indie scene - isn't all about tweepop and jangly guitars. This lot are cut from a far darker cloth. The hand (and sound) of the 80s American underground bands is never far from the surface and I can hear echoes of Big Black and the Minutemen to name just two. The art work even looks a little Big Black-ish in it's make up. This is a harder edge sound than isn't as often covered on Indie-mp3 but it doesn't stop it from being very good indeed. The two songs on this 7" are heavy and very organic sounding. Again I am drawn to this sound as I have always been a big fan of Big Black, 80s Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers etc and I'd say that if you've ever had a passing interest in any of those bands and a lot of the stuff released on the Blast First imprint you'll do a lot worse than checking out Lovvers in 2008. I like.
