Our Take

Ocean Colour Scene, the band that brought you hits like "The Riverboat Song" and "The Day We Caught the Train," have released a collection of their greatest hits titled "Songs For The Front Row - The Best Of." And let me tell you, this album is like a pint of beer on a sunny day - refreshing, familiar, and guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

The album kicks off with the infectious anthem "The Day We Caught the Train," a song that will have you tapping your feet and singing along in no time. It's followed by the dreamy "Hundred Mile High City," which feels like a warm embrace from an old friend. And who can forget the classic "Profit in Peace," a tune that will transport you back to the carefree days of the '90s.

But it's not all nostalgia on this album. Tracks like "Robin Hood" and "Up on the Downside" showcase Ocean Colour Scene's ability to write timeless rock songs that still sound fresh today. And the band's cover of Bob Dylan's "The Day We Caught the Train" is a highlight, with lead singer Simon Fowler's gritty vocals adding a new dimension to the classic track.

Overall, "Songs For The Front Row - The Best Of" is a must-have for any fan of British rock music. So grab a pint, find a spot in the front row, and get ready to sing your heart out to these timeless tunes. Cheers to Ocean Colour Scene for reminding us why we fell in love with music in the first place.

About the artist

Ocean Colour Scene

Step right up, folks, and get ready to dive head-first into the swirling sea of sound that is Ocean Colour Scene. These Britpop pioneers have been making waves in the music industry for over three decades, and show no signs of slowing down. With their infectious melodies, razor-sharp lyrics, and signature Mod-inspired style, OCS have solidified their place as one of the most beloved bands in the UK. Hailing from Birmingham, England, Ocean Colour Scene burst onto the scene in the early 90s, alongside the likes of Oasis and Blur. But unlike their more bombastic counterparts, OCS opted for a more introspective approach to their music, blending elements of classic rock, soul, and psychedelia to create their own unique sound. Frontman Simon Fowler's distinctive vocals soar over Steve Cradock's jangly guitar riffs, while the rhythm section of Raymond Meade and Oscar Harrison provide a solid backbone for the band's anthemic choruses and infectious hooks. And let's not forget the band's secret weapon, keyboardist and occasional vocalist, Brian Travers, whose intricate melodies and lush harmonies add an extra layer of depth to OCS's sound. Whether you're a die-hard fan who knows every word to "The Day We Caught The Train," or a newbie just dipping your toe into the ocean of OCS's discography, one thing is for certain: this band knows how to put on a show. So grab your parka, lace up your Doc Martens, and get ready to lose yourself in the timeless tunes of Ocean Colour Scene. You won't regret it.
