Polvo is an American indie rock band formed in 1990 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Known for their unique blend of punk rock energy, unconventional song structures, and eastern music influences, they become a prominent figure in the 1990s math rock and post-hardcore scenes. Ash Bowie (vocals, guitar) and Dave Brylawski (guitar, vocals) are notable members, contributing significantly to the band's discordant yet melodic sound. Their influential works include the albums "Today's Active Lifestyles" and "Exploded Drawing", which helped establish their reputation for innovative, genre-bending music.
