"Something we've always considered a strong point in this band, has been our ability to draw people that dont normally listen to metal to our music." says Joey Nova, one of the bands guitarists.
And that is definately the truth. After releasing numerous demos, Ovlo continually toured locally and regionally while releasing "Davey goes to Carolina" in 2006, and then "Sala-Ma-Sond" in 2008. 2010 saw the release of "That EP" and in the summer of 2011 Ovlo will release their first full length album "The Difference Between Excuse And Reason".
They have succesfully captured and retained an audience that continually grows daily. Their songs are laden with heavy yet melodic riffs, peppered with unusually placed break downs and clean catchy segments.
