FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The progressive rock crew from Sydney,
Australia called Jova have released their widely anticipated debut EP
record, “Colours that Will Run.” The album is comprised of five
original tracks for nearly a half hour's worth of listening. A
full-bodied, entrancing and passionate listening experience, “Colours
that Will Run” serves as a wake-up call for music fans not yet
acquainted with the remarkable trio of artists, and an aggressive
reassertion of rock ideals which have largely been missing from
modern music at large.
Jova has been likened to acts such as
Queens of the Stone Age, Sigur Ros, and A Perfect Circle. Jova,
themselves, cite as main artistic influences Tom Waits and the Mars
Volta. Though proudly billed as a prog- rock band, Jova's darkly
towering sound maintains attributes of alternative and grunge rock
bands such as Tool and early Stone Temple Pilots, with vocals which
fall somewhere between Scott Weiland's California grunge and Layne
Staley's bluesy drawl.
Pounding, warlike drums and
electrified, in-your-face bass lines act lead Jova's music easily as
much as their screaming, pared-down single guitar and violently
poetic vocal work. Their guitar tone utilizes strong, thick effects
which somehow do not occlude the natural sound of the instrument, and
Jova occasionally augment this with the eclectic use of a piano,
cello bow, or finger playing in the style of classical music
guitarists.
Having enjoyed and made great use of a
regular residency at Sydney's LiveHouse venue, Jova's dependably
explosive live performances have gained an unshakable reputation that
will follow them throughout their career.
The Sydney Unleashed Review describes Jova: “Their music is hypnotic, with tribal rhythms and haunting guitar work that sends you into your own little world … with potential to reach an international standard, they are worthy of supporting an international band such as Tool.”
“Colours that Will Run” by Jova is
available online worldwide. Get in early.
