HOOVER
Hoover, formed in Washington, D.C., in the summer of 1992, may have only existed briefly
(they broke up in the spring of 1994), but the band had a tremendous impact on post-hardcore music.
Early on, Hoover was wrongly dubbed a Fugazi copycat, but played intense, angular,
ominous music (to which late-'90s Fugazi may actually owe a debt) thanks to the
otherworldly rhythm section of Fred Erskine on bass/vocals and Chris Farral on drums
and the shattering dual guitar and vocal onslaught of Joe McRedmond and Al Dunham.
With two explosive singles released in 1993, Hoover proved themselves to be one of
D.C.'s most exciting new bands. Their first and only album on Dischord "The Lurid
Traversal of Route 7", released in February of 1994 -- sealed the deal. Combining
the compulsive power of Drive Like Jehu, a loud-soft dynamic that was previously
explored by Slint and would later be perfected by Mogwai, and the three vocalists'
dramatic, purging lyrics, Hoover unleashed a fury that would not be soon forgotten

RECORD NEAR MINT but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)Call Hoover's sole Dischord album emo if one wants -- because that would be right, but not in the washed-out whine sense of the late '90s. Much like the similarly fierce Drive Like Jehu from San Diego, when Lurid Traversal totally and completely fires up, Hoover are out for blood and sound it: musical aggression amped up high, lyrics clipped, and vocals screamed in usually very high pitches. The Jehu comparison also holds with the sense of obsessive, repetitive structure mixed with occasional time changes in a number of the songs -- if Hoover isn't quite as astoundingly epic as the West Coast quartet, the band's work is still far more than mere crash and bash. The group's secret weapon is that the foursome can be quiet when they want to be -- even tender, as the cricket-chirping then slow, slightly dreamy music that makes up the instrumental "Route 7" itself shows...(AllMusic)
