Ovef Ow formed in the spring of 2015 in Chicago. Their sound has been described as "surf rock sweetness + post-punk weirdness with lots and lots of farfisa = post-surf?" by Bandcamp on their New & Notable list. They draw influences from Sonic Youth, Sleater-Kinney, and the B-52s. Their latest EP Crash The Party was released early 2019 via Midwest Action.
