Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Ocean Colour Scene, the eternal underdogs of the Britpop scene. From their humble beginnings in the early 90s to their resurgence in the mid-2000s, these lads have hung on tighter than a drunk uncle at a family reunion.
Their latest compilation album, "Yesterday Today 2005-2013," is a mixed bag of hits and misses. Opening with the infectious "Free My Name," the band immediately sets the tone for a journey through their more recent material. From the upbeat anthems like "Go to Sea" to the introspective ballads like "We Don't Look in the Mirror," Ocean Colour Scene show that they still have a few tricks up their sleeves.
However, not all is smooth sailing on this album. Tracks like "Where Do You Want to Go?" and "What's Mine is Yours" fall flat, lacking the energy and passion that made Ocean Colour Scene stand out in their heyday.
Overall, "Yesterday Today 2005-2013" is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of the band. While it may not reach the heights of their earlier work, it's a solid effort from a group that refuses to go quietly into the night. So grab a pint, put on your parka, and let Ocean Colour Scene take you on a ride through the past decade. Cheers!

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.
