OVLOV ANNOUNCE "BUDS DEMOS" + SHARE "THE WEEKEND (DEMO)"

Posted on March 6th, 2025

Exploding In Sound Records is thrilled to announce the release of Buds Demos, a collection of home recorded demos from Ovlov's Steve Hartlett. Due out on March 14th, the demos have been newly mastered by Michael John Thomas III, capturing much of the band's third album in its earliest and more raw form. Today the band are sharing "The Weekend (Demo)," an unreleased song that was held back from the final release.

Ovlov are set to head out next week on a much anticipated West Coast tour that will find the band playing many cities for their first time. Joined by Washer for most dates, the run is almost entirely sold out, with tickets only remaining for Denver and the Treefort Music Fest in Boise. Complete dates can be found below.
