Taken from the recently released and critically acclaimed ‘Think’, Lovvers present their latest video, hand scrawled for the track ‘No Romantics’ by a Mr. Thomas Bush.


“The video for ‘No Romantics’ is a classic love story, a tragedy” he explains. “Like the music, you can see its bones, there's no smoothing down, for maximum energy. It's inspired by our experience of phone conversations, both female and male.”

It was produced by Next L.v.L. (three people) in a room in Stockholm over a couple of weeks, with 10 stacks of paper, many many black markers, and very little floor space left. The 'Pile of Shame' was much bigger than the pile of drawings actually used.

In addition to the video the band, who are currently on tour with Jay Reatard, have also been announced as main support for Abe Vigoda’s UK tour which kicks off next week. Dates below.

Lovvers debut release with Wichita came in the form of a 7 song CD/LP entitled ‘THINK’, which was released on September 29th. Clocking in at just less than 13 minutes, it gives you the perfect amount of time you need to piss off your boss, quit your job and throw out those ****ty records you keep getting told to buy.

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.

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.


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.
