OCEANSIZE formed 2 years ago, and
funded themselves through various jobs
including writing music for arcade games
and building/repairing helicopters  both
of these somehow appropriate . At the
start of 2001 they were named Best
Unsigned Band in Manchester by the
Manchester Evening News, and there was a
show stealing appearance at In The City,
followed by a simular A&R clamour in
London when the band debuted at The
Barfly. The stunning A Very Still
Movement EP was released that August, and
the band enjoyed support slots with the
likes of fans Elbow, Lift to
Experience, and The Cooper Temple

OCEANSIZE have formed a strong bond with
TCTC, completing 2 tours with them this
year lead singer Mike Vennart even did
vocals on the Coopers' 'Panzer Attack'
at Glastonbury. OCEANSIZE have also been
gigging regularly on their own with
great success. They even opened the BPI
stage at the SxSW festival in Austin,
Texas appearing alongside Elbow and

OCEANSIZE were made for devotees of the
uncompromising and the intriguingly
unique. They were conceived quietly in
the minds of five young men, dedicating
their waking moments to creating songs
about everyday mundanities, whether
they be borrowed from Cosmo articles
(Women Who Love Men Who Love Drugs), or
thoughts on loving someone with only one
arm (Amputee). Thoughts and images
wrapped in music that range in tone from
blissful bare melancholy to
fullonearsplittingsheernoiseguitarterror.

Although unwilling to disclose their
influences, OCEANSIZE have a deep
respect for the following: Pink Floyd,
Black Sabbath, Can, Cardiacs, Jane's
Addiction, (early) Verve, Swervedriver,
The Beach Boys and Tortoise. But the only
way to really appreciate Oceansizes
sound and reputation is to see their
incendiary live show. Look out for dates
