Alt-Rock / Metal
Aussie oddballs Ocean Grove freely fuse rock, metal, grunge, hip-hop & Brit-pop influences, pioneering what can only be described as ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฑ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐น๐ฑ ๐ ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐโข๏ธ. The eclectic Melbourne-bred trio have released three technicolored LPs, most recently โFlip Phone Fantasyโ (2020) and โUp In The Air Foreverโ (2022). A full-hearted mix of big-sky melodies and some of the most unique storytelling ever to come from a three-piece rock band, Ocean Groveโs third LP expands on many of the things that made โFlip Phone Fantasyโ such a hit โ huge choruses, irresistible riffs and catchy sloganeering lyrics โ but now rendered with a new sense of scope and scale. Hazy, nostalgic guitars wrap themselves around swaggering pop savvy, the trioโs ambition evident on every layer, from meticulous song crafting to head-spinning concepts. A record that looks as far forward into an alternate future as it does take heed from the classics of the past, โUp In The Air Foreverโ traverses from genre to genre, taking in guest appearances from international chart-toppers Dune Rats (Aus) and Lizzo / Travis Barker collaborator Lil Aaron (USA).
