London Punks VIRVON VARVON Prep New Release 'FOUR BARS OF HATE' via Girlsville Records




VIRVON VARVON - FOUR BARS OF HATE (CS/DL)
GIRLSVILLE
STREET DATE: FEB 28, 2024

VIRVON VARVON are UK (London) vets featuring members of Black Time, Trash Culture, Candy Highway and The Jazz June. After burning through a few pressings of their debut mini LP MIND CANCER (Girlsville Records), they gigged around London and played Get Lost Fest in Hamburg, Germany. Last September (2023) they played Gonerfest 20 in Memphis, TN (USA) alongside The Gories, Osees and The Mummies. Prior to heading to Gonerfest, VIRVON VARVON hunkered down to record the long-awaited follow-up to MIND CANCER, entitled FOUR BARS OF HATE.

A few of the songs were previewed on a Gonerfest exclusive EP called VOICES, which hinted at the more collaborative effort with Hanne, Andrew, Cunha and Matthew all taking turns on writing and/or vocals. Prior to Gonerfest they’d recorded the album and played a handful of warm up shows including one supporting Mark Sultan in London. By the time they hit Memphis they were firing on all cylinders:







”VIRVON VARVON - Matt giving 110% at Gonerfest - surprise set of the fest for me…” -Tom Hyland, (Dot Dash Productions, NYC)

“Did they (VIRVON VARVON) win Gonerfest 20?” - Eric Friedl (Oblivians, Goner Records)



VIRVON VARVON:

Hanne Highway - Vox

Stix Champion - Drums, Vox

Andrew Low - Guitar, Vox

Cunha- Bass, Vox

PRESS

"...something for Crypt Records rockers and Total Punkers, post-hardcore boy/girl basement angst ALA Cupid Car Club circa 1993 live, and music from a label you can trust because Girlsville knows what's up." TURNTABLE REPORT

"This is really pure stuff, believe me and exactly what the stuff from Memphis taught you, that it is possible to play this ominous punk rock very fucked up and extremely poppy at the same time. The best I've heard for a long time and more attention to detail is hardly imaginable despite the noisy minimalism." SONIC THREAT "

This band is a bit hard to peg down, but has hooks galore!" MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL

"full dose of fuzzed-out budget punk with trading off female and male vocals. I love this so much!" RAZORCAKE

"Best EP of the past year?" GONER RECORDS

“Brief but impressive debut LP from the London garage-punk group with shouty boy/girl vocals and songs that are as catchy as they are aggressive.” Chris McFarlane, JIGSAW RECORDS
