Ocean Grove release Oddworld

November 23, 2024 - Underground News

Here’s a FUN new album to check out…

Ocean grove’s “Oddworld” was released yesterday and is a damn good one!

Already releasing three monster tracks (Fly Away, Raindrop and My Disaster) on the lead up, they also dropped a brand new single/video “SOWHAT1999” which has those old school vibes (as you’d expect) and really cements Ocean Grove as one of the best the country has to offer.

Don’t take our word for it though, check it out for yourself on our Amped Spotify playlist:

And of course the video:

More on the track from the official press release:

“SOWHAT1999 was written to be a kind of gateway drug to OG, capturing the essence of Oddworld Music,” the band shares. “We got to a point in completing the album that we felt we needed just one more big sounding track to accompany the likes of MY DISASTER, FLY AWAY and CELL DIVISION. There are many darker sides to this album, but with this song a more colourful, free-spirited, tongue-in-cheek side to OG naturally bleeds through and is something our fans will recognise. We had a lot of fun with this song and video and it feels like the kind of track that every nu metal band should have at least one of, featuring a lot of one-liners and euphemisms at the heart of the Oddworld.”

More details on Ocean Grove:

Ocean Grove are the enigma of the heavy music landscape, blending elements of nu metal, hardcore and alternative rock to create a sound that is uniquely their own i.e. Oddworld Music. An eclectic trio of misfits spawning from Melbourne, Australia, Ocean Grove recently announced their signing to SharpTone Records and the launch of their own label, and have risen to prominence in recent years with their dynamic and genre-defying approach to music. Wearing their DIY work ethic on their sleeve, the band have self-produced every release to date, including the upcoming 2024 studio album ODDWORLD. Brandishing influences that span Korn, N.E.R.D and Faith No More, Ocean Grove are hellbent on self-reinvention, with each new release defying expectations and solidifying their position as one of the most innovative and compelling bands of their generation.

Consisting of vocalist Dale Tanner, bassist/vocalist Twiggy Hunter, and drummer/producer Sam Bassal, Ocean Grove approach their creativity with an ‘Oddworld Collective’ mentality, fusing ideas from all live and studio members to form a sonic experience that challenges uninspired norms. From their 2017 debut album The Rhapsody Tapes, which debuted at #5 on the ARIA charts, through to their sophomore 2020 release Flip Phone Fantasy and 2022’s Up In The Air Forever, both also landing in the ARIA Charts Top 10, Ocean Grove have cultivated resounding acclaim for their groundbreaking craftsmanship and bold experimentation.

Since their inception, Ocean Grove have captivated audiences with their high-energy performances, visually striking aesthetics and infectious melodies, earning them a devoted legion of followers around the globe. Their unforgettable live show has found them in hot demand with tours alongside Limp Bizkit, August Burns Red, Crossfaith, and Don Broco, and appearances at the likes of Download Festival Australia, Good Things Festival and UNIFY Gathering. Ocean Grove most recently supported Polaris on a massive regional Australian tour.
