Our Take

Ocean Colour Scene: Yesterday Today 1992 - 2018

In the grand tapestry of Britpop, Ocean Colour Scene often find themselves relegated to the role of the forgotten stepchild. But fear not, dear readers, for this 3-disc retrospective is here to remind us all of the enduring legacy of this Birmingham quartet.

From the bouncy, jangly guitars of "The Riverboat Song" to the introspective musings of "The Day We Caught the Train," OCS have always possessed a knack for crafting catchy, anthemic tunes that stick in your head like a particularly stubborn earworm.

But it's not just the hits that shine on this collection. The previously unreleased tracks provide a glimpse into the band's evolution over the years, showcasing their penchant for experimentation and willingness to push boundaries.

Sure, there are moments that may feel a tad dated, but isn't that part of the charm of revisiting a band's entire discography? It's like flipping through an old photo album and reminiscing about the good times, the bad times, and everything in between.

So, whether you're a die-hard OCS fan or a casual listener looking to expand your musical horizons, Yesterday Today 1992 - 2018 is a journey worth taking. So grab your pint, put on your parka, and let Ocean Colour Scene transport you back to a time when Britpop ruled the airwaves. Cheers, mates.

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.
