Possibly the most exciting live band in the country at the minute.

  • Very much true

    Couldnt go last night though, was feeling a little under the weather, and you have to be tip-top for a lovvers gig, or you will die.

        At dot2dot last year. Knew nothing about them at the time, but impressed me a hell of a lot with the sheer energy brought to the fore from their frontman...

                Lots more to come but I've stuck a couple online.

                http://gallery111392.fotopic.net/c1207063.html

                They were superb the other night, they've improved every time I've seen them. They seem to meld that disjointed squall/fury of hardcore with a melody and intricacy which at first I think is lost in the live experience until you know your way around the songs and then it really shines. As they get tighter and develop a few more styles and ideas these guys will have a breathtaking live show. what's hard to place is what audience they have, who do they appeal to?

                • Me

                  for starters!
                  But yeah, I can see what you mean, as they don't fit into any kind of genre or sub-genre for that matter.
                  I think that could be a big positive though as every time I've seen them they seem to attract a real cross-section of people, and no one I've spoken to who's seen them has said anything less than complimentary things afterwards.

                  • I actually don't think...

                    ...Lovvers are doing anything that new. Rites of Spring/Skull Control/Oxbow but with a slightly slower, doomier feel.

                    But by Christ, they do what they do mindmeltingly well.

                    Sean is obviously a great frontman, but his voice is just as incredible: furious, righteous and very angry. Henry's guitar playing is brilliant too. Listen closely and you can hear his love of stuff like Pavement/Yo La Tengo/Tim Kinsella. Not many people can use a loop pedal like him, either. Then their rythym section's unrelenting and as tight as fuck.

                    They'll go far. They've got a ltd.edition 4 track 7" coming out on Jonson Family soon.

                    • Not convinced by the doom

                      I think the moments of sludge are more breathing spaces for sean to get some rest. Although henry's loops often give that doom like quality.

                      tobyprice @dave_rio | 12 Feb '07, 14:55 | X
                      • yah

                        I meant doom in that they give you a sense of doom rather than sounding like Boris. Sludge is a better word.

                        • first time i saw

                          jarcrew. the singer collected empty pint glasses then sat on my lap and sang to me

                          this was the exact moment i fell in love with that band.

                          also first time i saw Engerica, very good night
