Music is neither a contest, nor an auction.

That one thought...that one concept is what has kept these musicians together through several incarnations. Other names. Other faces. Same philosophy. Because one look around the room or club, and it's revealed. We are all here for the music. On some occasions, we're on stage. On even more, we're standing right there in the middle of the floor.

Formed after the demise of many San Jose, CA bands, Cova is picking up where they all left off. These four musicians have devoted themselves to the local music scene since the early Nineties playing in Crash Course, Soda, Outtaline, and the Story. And in their many incarnations have shared the stage with Flogging Molly, Unwritten Law, Tilt, No Use For A Name, Zeke, and so many more.

D.I.Y. is how they always approached this music thing. Money, greed, posturing are not what it's about. Rather, enjoying each other and playing their collective ass off whenever and wherever they've been given the priveledge to play. Sure, they'd love some help from those who see eye-to-eye with them. On the other hand they have been staunchly anti-street team and shy away from the uber-promoting, letting the music do all the talking. No egos. No contests.

Over the years, they quite literally have seen it all—good, bad, indifferent—all the while never letting it affect their reason for being: music.
