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 carefree attitude of The Replacements. Having released four noisy seven-inch singles, the band signed to Wichita Recordings in 2008 and released the “Think” EP that same year.

"Their first proper LP reflects its jittery title; it's brimful with melody, scuffed guitars and singer Shaun Hencher's scuzzy vocals. Combined, these elements produce a sound akin to garage rock being dragged through a meat processor. It's exhilarating stuff." The Guardian.

"Dignan Porch are several matches made in heaven. All the way from exotic tooting, the group touch down into the effects-heavy shoegaze/dream pop world with some lovely vocals and harmonics but they really fly when they unashamedly let loose on the slacker guitar-hero stuff. We're not talking Dinosaur Jr. here, they're slightly easier on the ear than Mascis' worse excesses, but 'Tendrils' is bursting with coolness and melodies to kill or die for." - Rough Trade.
