Artist Roundup – Monthly Faves From Our Artist Relations Team

Hey – Alex here (AR Manager). Once again Dan (Euro AR) couldn’t be bothered to edit his grammar. I took care of that but, seriously, look at the dude’s descriptions below. Is he even trying anymore? My favorite line is this one: “…they have something different about them I can’t put my finger on.” My god, the effort! The insight!

Enjoy.

The Oxford Coma

The Oxford Coma is confusing and brutal. They go hard at their live shows. You leave wondering if your brain is still screwed on properly. This progressive-psych rock band from Phoenix, Arizona recorded their last album, Everything Is Out Of Tune, with Steve Albini. It’s worth listening to anything Steve puts his hands on. – Alex

 

Vokonis

I just signed this band to an endorsement based on their latest album, The Sunken Djinn. Obviously we’re fans of stoner doom at Orange (just look at the rest of our roster), but this Swedish band had a heavy darkness to their tunes that I just can’t ignore. I really can’t find anything wrong with it. I get a Baroness meets Monolord vibe. – Alex

 

Waax – Labrador

Brisbane five piece ‘Waax’ remind me of so many great bands I love but they have something different about them I can’t put my finger on. Their new single ‘Labrador’ is a good place to start with this band if you haven’t heard them before. They are currently supporting Wolf Alice in Australia and I’m sure it won’t take long for them to be over on UK shores so I can go see them. – Dan

 

Drug Church – Strong References

This is a banger. This band just seem to be getting better and better. – Dan

 

Viagra Boys – Sports

Blah Blah Blah band I heard that is good and I thought it would be good to promote them. – Dan
