Dover Biography
An indie rock band from Spain, Dover was formed in 1992, making their debut with the release of Sister in 1995. Soon, they signed with local independent label Subterfuge Records, participating in a compilation called Stereoparty 2 with the song "Loli Jackson," and issuing an album based on stories about angels, demons, and biblical references called Devil Came to Me on April 27, 1997. That same year, the post-grunge foursome achieved an Ondas award for Revelation of the Year. After founding their own label, Loli Jackson Records, Dover recorded Late at Night, produced in the U.S. by Barrett Jones and released in association with Chrysalis on June 28, 1999. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
