Hovel



Hovel was a emo/grind band from Goldsboro, North Carolina. Hovel was started in 1997 by original members Nick Wietzel, Matt Kornegay and Matt Curl. The early songs were influenced by Rorschach, Fleas and Lice and Spazz. After Nick left Hovel, Sean Edmunson and Daris King (ifitdoesntkillyou) joined. The later sound was influenced by Ulcer, Reversal of Man, Frail, Fingerprint and Jonah. Hovel played around 50 shows and disbanded in 1999 after playing a final show with Spirit of Versailles, The Swarm, Combat Wounded Veteran, Providence Union and Reversal Of Man. They released a 7 song Demo and a 3 Song Ep from their last recording session.

 I looked forever for the 7 song demo. It does not appear to happening, so here's the EP. Hovel is quite good. I featured ifitdoesn'tkillyou a long time ago, which has a connection to this band. In terms of sound, I actually do hear the grind influence on two of the tracks here. Otherwise it sounds kind of more like 2000's emo type stuff. I'm amazed at that final show, it's just insane how great the late 90's would have been for living in the US. Check it out for sure.
