Plovers

W/Ashbel, Uboa, The World at a Glance, Stoned to Death
post-punk / doom metal / post-hardcore

A night of heavy at the Bendi. Plovers are a unique sound best described via infusing angular guitar into a chaotic blend of post-punk fury and unexpected harmony. it's a solid, distorted assault that not only leaves little in its path, but also leaves everyone wanting more. Ashbel are a trio channeling their fusion of shoegaze, doom metal, post-hardcore and noise into a volatile soundscape, emulating the cycle of nature and decay; in the flesh they bring a punishing primal energy to the stage in their performances.
