THE FEVERS - Love Always Wins LP/CD
![]() |
THE
FEVERS! THE FEVERS! Yes, here is their eagerly awaited second album with
twelve new exciting songs in the way only they could do it. Started as
a mystery with few fans years ago, they gained reputation in the world
of music and got a place in many hearts with their debut album “GAAN
DAAR WAAR DE MEISJES ZIJN”, their 2003 European Tour and just finished
touring with their lovely Japanese friends the 5.6.7.8´s in the
US. The debut album haven’t lost any of it’s magic and receiving
twinkling reviews like hardly no other record. |
“LOVE ALWAYS WINS” teem with hookalicious song writing, tunes which will make you sing either in the crowded tube in the morning or during sunset on the roof, will make you smile, turn around, catch the album for looking on the back. Maybe Gavin, Brian and Travis form one of the most unique band of my world today. The FEVERS got all the pop music history has to offer. It´s powerpop as TEENAGE HEAD, NERVES and KNACK (without ties & laughing all the way to the bank), taking the cues from the “odd” bubblegum craze boy groups of the stunning nice guy 60´s harmonies. The FEVER B, G and T are geeks - no need for gimmicks to stand out, they love to rock, they love it loud but they don’t wanna be “LOUD” like most others out there. Topped by Gavin´s undeniable distinguish raspy voice, backed by that foot-tapping juice-driving heart-soaring lead and WHO-ish rough punchiness their sound is simple but surprising, intense but shining bright. Watch out the FEVERS are flying over you in red baron jackets, beatle boots and winter underwear throwing bananas! Again, the polka dot cover is the one you’ll find in bunch for sure, this time on “What Whale?” Records. Vinyl comes a big full color poster as long as supplies last. Ah yes, remember buddy, girls (and Darin Raffaelli) LOVE the FEVERS! |

Don´t
know how to start, I´m staggered by myself, THE FEVERS put out unbelievable
good 7" on Lipstick Records in 1998 - that platter made it easily
in my Top 5 of that year and guess they would be favourite new band, too.
That was the last I heard of this band till I read that they played the
2000 Las Vegas Shakedown. I asked a friend who was there if he has seen
the FEVERS, it was an afternoon showcase at a different place and he couldn´t
not positively stand the Las Vegas high noon degrees so he prefered the
pool than the walk to it. A choice I couldn´t understand. Can it
be too hot to miss THE FEVERS ?

There was no other
sign, obviously it was a one hit 45 wonder project and someone, in this
case Ms. Lucchesi of the BOBBYTEENS / TINA & TOTAL BABES, was so
smart to release it. When a run through my 7" stock I always had
to stop skipping and wonder what the hell happened to them, what story
may behind this mystery.... Once upon a time stars coming back again
- so are THE FEVERS ! The mystery is unsolved, here is the full length
of´em, it´s almost too good to be true, they are satellites
of compulsive pop, the sound of NOW - the primal joy of zero based power
pop music. |
