ABOUT THE BAND:
Sir-Vere have a long pedigree for making Rock & dancefloor slaying combinations of acid house, techno, electro and breaks, with the snarling punk vocals of Craig Hammond the cherry on top. Lovescope sees their newly enlarged ranks – ‘proper’ singer Ian McEwan has swelled their number to four – experimenting more than ever and establishing a sound that is more their own rather than belonging to any one genre. There are bigger sweeps in tempo, from the seriously blunted, dark edged trip hop opener ‘Angel Of Death’ to the frenetic drum and bass of ‘Peer Pressure’, and also a closer relationship with rock thanks to guitarist Gary Morland being let loose and Stevie Vega’s electronic beats being embellished with live drumming. However, it’s the earworm hooks and witty subversive lyrics – good old fashioned songwriting, you might even call it which makes SIR-VERE different …Whatever next?!
“We stick to our guns,” says Craig Hammond of Sir-Vere, “you could almost call it stubbornness.” That resolute nature, almost bordering on missionary zeal, has certainly served the Milton Keynes groove merchants well. The band’s musical aesthetic, to fuse the filth and the fury of punk and the power of rock with the irrepressible momentum of breakbeat, house and techno technology, is one that has, in the past, foxed the rather straight-thinking minds of the music industry. That was an attitude that never put the band off their avowed course, naturally. They’ve kept themselves busy.
