Like yer punk gritty, grotty, noisy and nasty? Sort of like it’s being played via a teleconference, by a Ramones tribute band with three distortion pedals each and a common intent to sonically stove your head in? Then you might just love the new Lovvers album.
Whether it can strictly be described as an album given that it’s seven tracks clock in at a mere thirteen minutes is debatable. What is less debatable is that Lovvers appear to have taken the likes of Flipper and The Replacements as their role models and had a good shot at recreating the lo-fi, dirty punk vibe that those two are infamous for.
What is less apparent is whether there is in their ranks a songwriter of the calibre of Paul Westerberg. I suspect not. All good fun it might be, and perhaps not the kind of thing you come across every day, but ‘Think’ (a conscious tribute to The Replacements’ ‘Stink’ there?) is ultimately fairly throwaway stuff.
