Van Groover - Both Shop EP's
I heard the loud hum from a far… The screeching tires… The backfire as it drove off… Yes! Look what the good old boys from Van Groover decided to drop in my lap! It’s the brand new double edged Back From The Shop and Back To The Shop vinyl edition! Both EP’s on one slab of holy vinyl… It’s groovy and it’s about van life! Cause the boys know, there’s always something that needs fixing when you own a van… But not Van Groover’s sound!
Stoner HiVe already knew that listening to Back From The Shop:
“… It’s called Back From The Shop and implores some Clutch influences, (how fitting) to get their trucking stoner rock going. Less metallic perhaps than their earlier Honk If Parts Fall Off, this five-track EP seems to serve as the perfect reminder that there’s this German trio out there that knows how to give you the right kind of energy. A sludgy tone setting gives it all this highly greasy atmosphere. And the intro skit sets the launch up for a definite afterburning start. Cause that’s what opener Double Wide gives you. The vocalist starts the engine, orates all the checks and lights and the guitars begin to wail, you hear the engine roar, then the three put the peddle to the metal and they’re off, cruising hardcore….”
Or as Stoner HiVe wrote about Back To The Shop:
“…. Potmodel shows a different side of Van Groover, still with a smile, they deliver most of the song almost like a death acoustic version of their rock. But once they burst through, they let a bluesy harmonica lead the way. Big Dog is huge in its delivery, biting in its metal edge and growling in vocals and on its low end riffs. Power driven and burning up the engine….”
Thank you guys! Love it!
Go check out the wild an fun Van Groover three!
