Ovlov is an American indie/alternative rock band led by Steve Hartlett, known for fuzz-drenched guitars, loud 'wall of sound' production and emotionally charged solos.

Fronted by Steve Hartlett. AM was released in 2013 on Exploding in Sound Records. TRU was reviewed in 2018 and is described in the reviews as a collection of unreleased songs following a period in which the band had broken up and later reunited.

Two DeBaser reviews celebrate Ovlov's loud, fuzz-drenched indie/alternative rock. AM (2013) is hailed as a standout album; TRU (2018) is praised for consistent wall-of-sound textures and J Mascis–like solos. Both reviews emphasize emotional intensity and heavy guitar fuzz.

For:Fans of loud, guitar-driven indie/alternative rock, and listeners who like Dinosaur Jr., Pixies, Weezer or shoegaze/noise textures.

 For me, without a doubt, this is the best album of 2013.

 TRU has the merit of being superior despite the lack of an identifying track which to my eyes is anything but negative,
