Why have I never heard a Lovvers record before until now? Brian put 'Laughing Man' on the deck and I almost shit myself. A slab of prime Butthole Surfers inspired primal gutter rock that twats you in the head like a juggernaut. It begins with a slow intro and then the drums kick in and a disorientating filthy riff does the business.The vocal has a kind of snarl that recalls old Boner records band Steel Pole Bathtub and the whole thing sounds like it's falling apart. Then suddenly the track finds its feet and then its a good old fashioned kick ass rock out. Flipside 'Search For Gold' is a faster monster that'll get you shaking your nut about like a spider monkey on amphetamines. The production is raw and it has a Dead Kennedy's kinda thing happening. 7" only on Jonson Family Records.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Lovvers return with their third 7”. Already single of the week in Artrocker who sum the whole affair up thusly: “Laughing Man is deranged, gobshite rock that spits all over the place, while 'Search For Gold' is a darker affair - a strutting top speed rock song that captures the feeling of fear that was last seen permuting Sonic Youth's Death Valley 69”. The NME like them, they said so in the ‘Morrisey’ issue. They’ve had a page in East London fashion bible Vice. The Wire said “this Nottingham based quartet are sharpening their knives in an unholy style”. Anyhow, this last year has seen the band clock up over 100 gigs, playing with the likes of Blood Red Shoes, Holy Fuck, Foals, and Black Lips. They tear it up live, its how you’d imagine The Germs were, or a pre Henry Rollins Black Flag (less muscles, more snot), a tight knit ball of chaos and adrenalin. They’re on tour from 31st January through to the 3rd March from Exeter to Glasgow taking in all the UK’s hotspots. You have no excuse. There are 500 copies of this 7”.
