Oceans - The Great Divide



1. Bring Us Home
2. Find The Words
3. Martyr
4. Carrying Onwards
5. Slipping backwards
6. Polygamist
7. A Call, An Answer
8. Define, Divide
9. To Its End
10. Left And Gone
11. Change The Old


Oceans full length album shows a band that is very hardcore. Every song is screamed with muffled lyrics. There are no melodic parts in this. The album is quite good for a hardcore band. The guitar parts are decent and go along with what the band is trying to do as well as two instrumentals which break up the album nicely. Give this a listen as they are a band on Underground Operations radar. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Genre: Hardcore/Punk/Rock
Release Date : January 1st, 2009

Oceans November three song demo is just like their previous one when it comes to the style and sound they are going for. This one is more so that you can hear what they are doing and have more songs to fill out their live show Oceans has a pretty good hardcore sound here on this album. When you look at the recording of the album, it has been done alright, the sound isn't so great but that's what they were going for with a bit of a dirty style and the vocals being rough sounding. This overall seems to have a good sound, we like it. When looking for a single for this album, there isn't really one, so just pick a song and listen to it, then you'll get the jest of the album. Oceans have something here that could really work, if they just clean up the vocals a bit and get better production from their album, this could go a long way. We look forward to seeing what they come up with next. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Oceans - Oceans



1. It's Never Enough When You're A Ploygamist
2. Mary Kay Letourneau
3. Dinner Jazz & A Tom Collins


Oceans have released their debut self titled album. This album is hard to put a finger on and tell you if it is something great. This band seem to play in the same style as Comeback Kid and bands like that. These guys do have some potential here and they can play their instruments decently so give them credit. Vocals on this album are exactly what people are looking for from bands like this as well. One thing to comment on is the recording quality, it could use a little upgrading, but only a little. Listen to the song "It's Never Enough When You're A Ploygamist" it's the best of the three songs here. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
