Dover

Dover is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Madonna, Peaches, Boubacar Traoré, Habib Koité and Sekouba Bambino. Those roots explain a lot about how Dover arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Amaral, Reincidentes, Extremoduro, La Fuga and El Canto del Loco, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Altogether the chart holds 28 connections around Dover, reaching back through Madonna. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.

Background

Dover was a Spanish rock band founded in Madrid in 1992. The group was composed of the sisters and group leaders Cristina Llanos (vocals) and Amparo Llanos, drummer Jesús Antúnez and bassist Samuel Titos. They recorded eight albums, selling around two million copies. They are known for their second album Devil Came to Me, which led them to international fame. In 2006, their sixth album, Follow the City Lights caused controversy as the style of the group changed from alternative rock to electronic pop. The band won, among other distinctions, the Revelation Group award at the 1997 Premios Ondas and the award for Best Spanish Artist at the 2000 MTV Europe Music Awards. The band disbanded in 2016 by Amparo Llanos, who has since begun another project without her sister.
