New UK alt-shoegaze band OVERSIZE sign with SharpTone Records; release new single
9th October 2024 0 By Jon DeauxIntroducing OVERSIZE – the newest addition to the SharpTone Records roster – who today release their incredible new single ‘Fall Apart’.
Stream ‘Fall Apart’ here: https://bfan.link/fall-apart-2OVERSIZE have already turned the heads of many tastemakers in the UK scene, with rave reviews and rapt attention from Dan P Carter, Alyx Holcombe, and Jack Saunders at BBC R1. In their short time as a band, OVERSIZE have already performed at Outbreak Festival and supported Militarie Gun, Higher Power, Fiddlehead, Boston Manor, and many more.
Although still very much in their infancy, the group – who formed in the South West of England – has already developed a fully formed, personal sound. Elements of post-hardcore, alternative metal, shoegaze, and emo combine to deliriously heady effect. While the band doesn’t shy away from their love of alternative 90’s music, and a love of HUM, Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, and Pixies, OVERSIZE has very little interest in being sonically tied to the past.
The bandmembers’ shared experience of writing and playing live together has found them carving out their own space within the alternative scene, in just a handful of years. Exploring the vast range of dynamics within their music, songs drift between atmospheric textures to loud fuzzy riffs, magnifying and complimenting the personal and often venerable vocals.
On ‘Fall Apart’, vocalist Sam McCauley comments: “‘Fall Apart’ lyrically shifts around the themes of grief and heartbreak. Reflecting on a moment of disconnect. How you can feel numb and soulless whilst still yearning for a connection, for love. The basic want of someone to hold you and tell you it’ll be just fine, while simultaneously isolating yourself from the world.”
On signing with SharpTone Records, Lewis Lennane-Emm comments: “It really is an absolute honor to join the SharpTone family, home to so many of the very best current alternative artists. To be part of a culture that celebrates and nurtures creativity and artistic development feels very special.”
OVERSIZE are:
Sam Shutler – drums
Sam McCauley – vocals
George Lewis – bass
Tazz Edwards – guitar
Lewis Lennane-Emm – guitar
