HVMM

Dark times and darker songs require a band with enough depth to shine through, to rise above and to beat an increasingly stagnant rock music scene into submission, to create something memorable, something new. Meet HVMM. If you’re lucky enough to catch this four piece live you will not forget them. Ticking with enough intense energy and aggression that being situated too close to the stage will leave you feeling like you’re likely to be going home in an ambulance rather than a cab.

Formed sometime in 2015, the fact that the timeline and origins of HVMM are ambiguous further signify that it is what happened after they came together that matters rather than who they were before. What we do know is that Worcester is called home and that Andy Teece (vocals) and Sam Jenkins (Drums) introduction to each other was the result of a fight in a pub. Ebony Clay (Guitars) found herself migrating from coffee to alcohol after a meeting with Andy and wound up in the band. Ebony brought in long-term friend Mr Jack (bass) to complete HVMM.

From the outset the band’s live performances has attracted the right kind of attention leading to HVMM being the first UK signing for US label ILA, who had them in the studio recording their debut EP, TALK TO ME LIKE I’M DEAD, at BRIGHTON ELECTRIC before the ink was dry on the contract. With the EP in the can HVMM continued to garner enthusiastic support in both the UK and US markets with premieres via CLASH MAGAZINE, PUNK NEWS and METAL INSIDER, as well as features in DISORDER MAGAZINE, VINYL DISTRICT and M-MAGAZINE, to name but a few. On the airwaves, the influential US based radio station WSOU, premiered the entire EP on the week of release, which reinforced the UK support from KERRANG!, BBC 6 MUSIC, RADIO X, BBC INTRODUCING’s and the bands inclusion on CLASSIC ROCK's play-list with TEAM ROCK.

On the live circuit HVMM have been receiving rabidly favourable reviews, playing high profile shows such as CAMDEN ROCKS, THE GREAT ESCAPE, HRH Ibiza (Ibiza’s biggest rock festival), HACKNEY WONDERLAND and sold out their first London headline show way in advance, which has put the band firmly in the ascendance.

HVMM – are not carrying the torch of a new spirit of British rock, they are setting fire to it, watching it burn and enjoying themselves immensely.
