The BV's are a band from Augsburg, Germany. Their bittersweet, looping, disintegrating mix of indie pop, shoegaze and krautrock came together by chance in the cascading granite greys of a wet english winter in 2016, when Fred moved from Augsburg in Germany to Cornwall in the UK for a university exchange program and moved in with Josh. After living together for four months, they decided to record some demos for fun, which later became their first album, Speaking from a Distance, released in 2017 on German label Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten. After Fred moved back to Augsburg, the BV's continued to make music over the internet, releasing an EP and a second album with Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten, as well as singles with Cloudberry Records (USA), Shiny Happy Records (Indonesia) and Melotron Recordings (Greece). They also toured extensively in Europe and the UK, including appearances at indietracks and Madrid Popfest. In 2022, Josh moved from the UK to Augsburg. with the band now finally all living in the same city, the BV's have spent the last year recording their third album, Taking Pictures Of Taking Pictures, which will be released by Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten and Shelflife Records.
