Genre: New Wave/Post Rock/Disco COVVES have forged a new vibe, a sound of their own, in five years of meticulous research: New Wave, Disco and Post-Rock are building blocks that evoke warm associations - but in the COVVES mix they sound like no other band from Munich; perhaps no other band at all. And bigger than one would expect from an unknown quartet far from the pop hotspots of Berlin or Hamburg. A recognizable synth sound carries the songs and draws them into the distance, electronic drum beats drive them forward; guitar shimmers and scratches. In this way, COVVES make an almost cinematic narrative tangible: their first EP "Sleepwalking" could be set during a long night. It's about escaping everyday life, about hope, the sparkle of club lights and eyes, about failure and the new that could arise from it. About sweat, smoke, fog and rain. COVVES was formed a good ten years ago from the musical connection between songwriters Richard Mahlke and Marco Rose. After several changes of skin and an intensive search for their sound, the band has now laid off the familiar genre corsets. This is probably thanks to the new electronic elements - which are reminiscent of the 80s but still clearly jump into the present. With drummer Michael Stanger and bassist Jairo Velásquez, COVVES sound exactly how they want to sound right now. And are therefore a discovery.
