07/20/07 HOVS IS BACK!!!! It is back though presently just as a one man band though. So, likely no live shows..... Their is going to be another HOVS CD out soon. FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!! Wednesday, August 1st/2007 to be exact! I, Rick, have decided to carry on the HOVS name on my own. Well, and with some fan support hopefully. Ha, ha! That would be nice. But either way. I have written and recorded 6 new songs (5 originals and 1 cover) to be out and in stores in 2 weeks. (Tentatively Frank's, Spin-It, Live Wire and La Guitare in Moncton if I can work out a real cheap deal with them all.) They will also be able to be purchased through me as well at a very similar price to the stores though here or via e-mail at "
[email protected]". ALL of this project was done solely by myself (witht he exception of the final roughly mastered version), so, check it out, let me know what you think. Be nice, be harsh, I don't care. But listen to it, a lot!!! I think it's decent old school metal. A little heavier and faster than our previous 2 CD's, but that's just
how it progressed for me. I'll just have to wait and see what you all think for yourselves. I can't wait to hear people's input on this. It's been my 'private baby' for months now. I look forward to any outside feedback on it. The sound quality may leave a little to be desired, but I did what I could with what I had to work with. (More details on this in the CD insert notes), I went totally old-school and DIY on this one! Keep checking in. I will be adding one or maybe even two new songs on here in a very short while for people to be able to sample. :) Thanks for reading everyone and thanks for any support you give me or even any negative reviews, or both. As long as it's something, I welcome it. Metal!!!----------------------------------------------------

03/15/07 Hello everybody. This is Rick writing on here. I do apologize for my delay on updating this site. As those closest to us already know, the band lost 2 of it's 3 members about 6 months ago. Poke and Ed both decided to persue other interests outside of the HOVS umbrella. We all wish each other all the best going forward. As for the fate of HOVS, it is really unsure at this point. The house will need some serious revamping renovations. We'll see what happens in the near to medium term. We all very much appreciate all the help and support given to us over our time together. Keep an eye out for us all out on the scene though. We will likely be up to something musical. Cheers!-----------------------------------------------------

04/15/06 The band is a 3 piece from Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. We formed in December of 2003 with Poke (now 32) guitar and vocals, Mike Gerber (32) bass guitar, and Rick Gabbey (30) drums. We went on like that until September of 2005 when our bassist and good friend Mike felt he had to leave for 'greener pastures'. In the time we had him we released one Demo CD 2004, did approimately 16 live performances, had pins made, and got our website up and running. Then, after trying out a few new bass player, 6 months later in February of 2006 we found bassist Ed Bourgeois (19). This guy is as dedicated and energetic as they come. He's a real showman and we are grateful for all he brings to the band. Cheers Ed!! Since getting Ed we've recorded our second CD "XXXtasy", played 3 more live shows with more to come, and done up t-shirts. We've been having a great time and can't wait to see what the next few months brings. We've been lucky to share the stage with many very cool, very talented people. Black Frost, Thine Eyes Bleed, Degrade, Brandon Street Massacre, Feedback Scars, Life Against Death, Kilbourne, and Laid to Waste to name but a few. We look forward to playing for and meeting many, many more peeps. Especially hot and sexy chicks. Oh yeah, come on ladies. Add yourselves to our page. Make this the best looking Friend listing anywheres! Ha, ha! Thanks for checking out our page. Keep it metal!! Hell yeah!!!!
