Indie rockers, Oswald Slain, release stunning debut EP

Formerly known as Little Thief, Oswald Slains sound is a rich tapestry woven from the threads of classic Americana, echoing the timeless vibes of Neil Young and The Band, whilst infusing it with the gritty, energetic rock essence.

Their highly anticipated debut 5-track EP, Kiss Me On The Mouth, showcases the bands ability to blend multiple genres. Driving rhythms and fuzzy guitars throughout the album offers both reflective depth and an irresistible groove, promising music that resonates with both heart and soul. Lyrically the tracks on the album explore personal flaws, failures, self-acceptance and the feelings of constant imposter syndrome.

Born from the creative cocoon of their home studio, Oswald Slain, produced the album themselves, with Jason Mitchell taking control of the mastering duties at Loud Mastering.

We spent a couple of weeks in 2024 writing and recording loads of tunes. Every day I'd get up and write a couple of ideas and some lyrics, then we'd work together to orchestrate it, finishing the song together and tracking everything there and then. It was all pretty quick and it was a great way to make music because everything was pretty much written and recorded on the same day. We ended up with around 18 tunes.

The EP was made up of all of the fun little bangers that we loved but couldn't fit into what we wanted for a future album, which is a very exciting and different beast entirely. A lot of the EP lyric-wise comes from dealing with constant imposter syndrome and confidence loss. It's important to go through change as a person but also nice to make it into a positive thing that can be fun and joyful. I was lucky enough to have people around me at the time who were keen to make this music and for that I'll be forever grateful. - Charlie Fitzgerald (Lyricist/Vocals)

The EP, Kiss Me On The Mouth, is available through all streaming platforms.

Oswald Slain are excited to announce that they'll be embarking on their first tour of the UK, commencing April 17th 2025 at Newcastle's Trillians Bar to celebrate the release of their debut EP.
