SXSW 2017 is officially under way, so we figured we’d take the opportunity to showcase a few of the New England acts making their way to the mecca of Austin, TX. Connecticut rockers Ovlov are getting ready to bring their brand of fuzzy, lo-fi alt-rock to a horde of new fans in Austin. Their last full release, 2013’s am, is a shining offering to the genre, a powerfully dynamic album that is straightforward rock, without getting dull. Check them out at The Velveeta Room in Austin, TX on 3/17. -Brian Varneke
