Infos
The band was formed in March 2018 when Luca and Paul found a new drummer for them looking for a blues rock trio and came across Bennet. The chemistry was right immediately and a perfect symbiosis between the band members quickly developed while playing and writing. Driven by the determination to develop their music further, they now worked together on fresh songs. But instead of sticking to the tried and tested blues rock path, the three went their very own way. ROVAR was born. After a few months, during which the band could try out their new songs on numerous live shows, they went to the studio. The result is a live recorded EP that manages to capture the irrepressible energy that ROVAR exudes on stage. Since 2020 the band has been working with Bug Valley Records. The trio is currently working on their debut album, which will be released in 2021.

Thirst
(Single) 27-11-2020
“No one can stop me now!” ROVARs Single “Thirst” zieht einen hinein in einen Trip aus Fantasie, Verlangen und Euphorie. Es geht um die unfassbare Anziehung zu einem Menschen, dem man das allererste Mal begegnet. Ein rauschartiger Zustand verzerrt die Sicht. Das eigene Selbst stürzt sich in einen Konflikt – schwankend zwischen nagenden Selbstzweifeln und fester Entschlossenheit. Am Ende liegt die Entscheidung – wie so oft im Leben – einzig und allein bei einem selbst. Die drei Jungs von ROVAR haben damit auf ihre energiegeladene EP noch einmal eine Schippe draufgelegt – und das nicht nur im Bezug auf die schiere Energie, die dieses Power-Trio versprüht. Auch am Songwriting hat die Band gefeilt und es zeigt sich deutliche Entwicklung hin zu klareren Strukturen und runderen Songs. Dennoch ist ROVARs Sound nach wie vor keineswegs zahm und glattgebügelt. Durch das gemeinsame Einspielen ihrer Songs in einem Raum entsteht auch beim Hören der Studio-Aufnahmen sofort ein unnachahmliches Live-Feeling, dass die glorreichen 70er Jahre kurz wieder zum Leben zu erwecken scheint. Das erste Full-Length Debut der Band kommt 2021 und wird für Liebhaber ehrlicher, handgemachter Rockmusik ganz sicher zum Pflichtprogramm!

(EP) 10-30-2020
“Rock n ‘roll is not dead, but nothing like that! As long as there are very young, new bands who bring so much joy in playing, skills and drive and thus always sound fresh and cheeky, I definitely don’t worry! If you don’t feel anything, you really don’t have a pulse … “(Rama Tonstudio Mannheim)
[…] “a velvet wrecking ball of Heavy Rock. ROVAR‘s debut sounds like attending an intense Rock‘n Roll concert in a venue full of smoke.”(Magowave Reviews)
“The sound is pleasantly raw, earthy and unpolished […] The whole thing looks old-fashioned and old school in a sympathetic way, not artificial or forced, but natural.”(Legacy Magazine)
