Ova! play music of the wet deep night. Hailing from Minneapolis, MN, they
appeared outta nowhere early '03 with violent fast/locked-down compositions
that both strafe real kickass/beer metal and the avant/shitnuts rock. A
two-piece drums/electronics and guitar all instrumental who list their main
influence as Sawyer Brown? Yep. Contemporaries include Orthrelm, Lightning Bolt, Sightings, Flying Luttenbachers, Hella and the like but this is only a guide of play style, they sound nothing like any of the above, more a paramount stress on aggressive 'composition,' not merely picking out a few chords and flailing your hand fast is where the comparison lies. Each songs depth is immense audio mystification, hammer and nailed down under the 2 minute mark with surgical precision. Ova! toured the West Coast in Fall '03 with fellow MPLS freak Happy Mother's Day, I Can't Read playing shows with Friends Forever, Shoplifting, Coachwhips, XBXRX, Burmese and many more. In MPLS they've played support for such bands as Flying Luttenbachers, Lightning Bolt, Numbers, SSION, Point Line Plane, etc. Their favorite food: a
crockpot full of sloppy joes. Ova! continues to evolve incorporating arcane
electronics into the fold as well as damaged time structures and sounds,
creating a liquid energy used to power ham plants in Milwaukee, WI. They
are touring in support of their debut CD (split with HMD, ICR) on Freedom
