Lovvers are a strange mix of music’s forgotten / blank generation, re-calling the spirit of Darby Crashes’ Germs, the weirdness of Flipper, Wipers style pop and the careless attitude of The Replacements. They formed in 2005 and went down for good in 2010
Having been written about or featured in most major magazines, it appears the select few have largely missed the point of Lovvers.
Maybe it’s because they have no idea of their context or the idea of this music isn’t anything they’ve experience directly? Instead they continue to focus on the bands stunning good looks and hair colour, for this select group of writers music has to be defined to a style or pigeonholed with a brand.
Two years in and having trawled the UK time and time again, playing nearly 200 shows and sharing multiple gigs with bands like Butthole Surfers, Abe Vigoda, No Age, Times New Viking, Jay Reatard, Awesome Color, Mika Miko, Fucked Up, Black Lips, Brutal Knights……..
Their first full length LP OCD GO GO GO GIRLS was released on August 10th on Wichita Records.

* CD/R [2006] * Lovvers 7" [2007] * Near Enough For Jazz / Special Needs 7" [2007] * Laughing Man / Search For Gold 7" [2008] * Think 12"/CD [2008] * OCD GO GO GIRLS / 100 FLOWERS 7" [2009] * OCD GO GO GO GIRLS LP/CD [2009] * STRANGERS 7" [2010] * Endless Bummer Surf Compilation Cassette [2010]More info:
