Madrid, Spain (1992 – present)
Dover is a spanish alternative-pop-rock band which was founded in 1992. The Band currently consists of the sisters Christina Llanos (guitar/vocals) and Amparo Llanos (guitar), Jesús Antúnez (drums) and Samuel Titos (bass) who recently replaced former bass Álvaro Díez. Their music is from heavy to sweet, shouting to dreaming, but always with a groovy drive.
Dover originated in the outskirts of Madrid at the beginning of the 1990s when the Llanos sisters decided to form a rock band encouraged by the alternative scene from Seattle. In 1994, the drummer Jesús Antúnez and the bass guitarist Álvaro Gómez joined in. One of the band’s demo tapes reached the radio program Disco Grande on RNE Radio 3. The band then entered into a one-year contract with the small independent record label Everlasting-Caroline. Their debut album Sister in 1995 lacked promotion and sold poorly; however, the Spanish fanzine Mondo Sonoro included it among the 10 best national albums of the year.
After their initial contract expired, they signed for the independent label Subterfuge Records, which produced their second album Devil Came to Me. This album turned out as an unprecedented success in the Spanish independent scene. A fragment from the title song was included in a popular Radical Fruit Company television commercial and the band got launched to national fame. While promoting this album, the bass guitarist was replaced by Álvaro Díez, who had already been part of the band at its beginning.

la version de dover en plan electropop es un cagarro de la leche y ya está. Y no contentos con eso van y cogen las canciones buenas que tenian, las "electropopizan" para rebozarse aun mas en su mierda. y si veis mi perfil, claro que los escucho, pero cuando eran decentes...

Supongo que Radiohead también fueron la leche de traidores en "Kid A"... A ver, Dover simplemente cambiaron de estilo a otra cosa, pero comerciales siempre han sido. Otra cosa es que la versión de Dover en plan electropop sea un bastante chusquera y verbenera...
