Nottingham quartet Lovvers and their truly unholy racket are back, with THINK released on September 22 through Wichita.
Seven songs and under thirteen minutes of putrid punk jams, THINK follows previous Jonson Family releases Lovvers EP (review), ‘Near Enough For Jazz’ (review) and ‘Laughing Man’ (review).
So says the announcement from the Wichita website:
“Great bands do not gain popularity, develop musically or give you what you want; based nowhere and residing pretty much everywhere Lovvers is compromised of four ambitious nobodies; that have tellingly appeared at a moment in musical history that can only described as a yawning deluded mess.”
They continue:
“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; at one show a girl was so confused / annoyed that she wrote to KERRANG! describing this music as highly offensive, wanting to erase them from her mind.
“Having been written about or featured in most major magazines, it appears the select few have largely missed the point of Lovvers.”
