Yes! A label has signed a band. A good label. A good band. SWEET.
Brooklyn-based rockers Oxford Collapse are the band in question - I've got their 2004 album Some Wilderness and it pretty much kicks. The trio have previously released two albums and an EP through Kanine, and their third will emerge through Sub Pop later this year.
If you wanna get a slice of this hot rockin', the band release a seven-inch through Version City pretty freakin' soon (well, maybe...).
I love rock and roll: truth.
they's pretty good
had a track on an old public service broadcast but i never followed up on it. they played a few dates here last year but i missed 'em :(
i checked them out
recently and found them really average.
So
what do they sound like then?
OC rule...
i saw them play a few years back in NYC. they've come on a ways since some wilderness...try and check out the 'song for the singer of panthers' 7" that came out last year in the UK. it's totally sweet.
wow
when i went to NY many moons ago, they were supporting Radio 4 but I missed them. however one of them like my tee and then introduced me to the rest of the band, hung out with them for the rest of the night and thrn i randomly bumped into them whenever I went to a gig over the rest of the week...
