Korova

Hardcore punk from Birmingham, AL since 2001. We sound like late-era Black Flag if they tried to play powerviolence, I guess.

It's too long and complicated, and this isn't behind the music. We've had our ups and downs, like everybody. We're just a punk band from Alabama.

We play small DIY spots. We played some bigger places a few times, we didn't like it. We prefer it to be all ages. Even better, a house.

Whatever we can afford at the time. Chad has a thing for strats. That's about the only thing anybody uses consistently.
