The kids in Oh No! Oh My! started playing music when they were just fourteen years old, and all of them play at least three different instruments. Daniel (Guitars, Banjos, Accordions, Keys, Wurlitzers, Tambourines, Hand Claps, Percussion, Sampling, Programming) and Joel Calvin (Drums, Keys, Hand Claps, Sampler, Tambourines, Bells, Shakers) were best friends growing up; Greg Barkley (Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Banjos, Accordions, Rhodes, Wurlitzers, Keys, Hand Claps, Percussion) joined the boys after Daniel and Joel “stole Greg from his previous band”, and most recent addition, Tim Regan (Keys, Locks, Bolts, Wurlitzers, Rhodes, Syths, Guitars, Vocals), rounds out the band’s bubbly-folk-meets-indie-pop sound.
The Between the Devil and the Sea EP is a collection of previously unreleased songs. Although some are already live favorites, they are slight departures from how many know Oh No! Oh My!. On Between the Devil and the Sea, Oh No! Oh My!’s often described tongue-in-cheekiness isn’t as much apparent as in popular demos like “Walk in the Park” and “Jane is Fat”. Here, we find the band at its most earnest: bright and not so much hopeful, as open to future events. Daniel described the “unintentional themes” of these decidedly fun, yet earnest recordings: “With this EP, we had an youthful openness about what the future might bring. Not dreaming, but considering all of what could be… watching things unfold as they will, and being fine with it. "
So my parents constantly watch TFC (The Filipino Channel), and one day I overheard a song that I recognized, which just so happened to be your song "Walk in the Park." It was on a commercial for Max's Restaurant...so I guess you guys are international superstars. Congratulations!
Brilliant work boys, apparently Texas is the place to be for the best indie-folk-pop on the planet. Amazing record, just stumbled upon it , and i can't stop listening to it.
hOLA QUERIDOS DISCULPEN QUE NO LES ESCRIBA EN INGLES PERO DE LA EMOCION HASTA SE ME OLVIDO.
USTEDES SON UNA GRAN BANDA Y AUNQUE NO SON TAN COMERCIALES CREO PENSAR QUE ES POR ESO QUE ME GUSTAN MUCHO MAS JA JA... DESEARIA QUE ALGUN DÍA VENGAN A MI PAÍS (MÉXICO) PARA MÍ SERIA UN GRAN HONOR PODER ESCUCHARLOS EN VIVO YA QUE SUS ULTIMAS REALIZACIONES QUE HAN HECHO NO SOLO ME HAN FASINADO SI NO QUE ME CAUTIVARON, SON UNA GRAN BANDA Y PARA EL POCO TIEMPO QUE LLEVAN ME HAN SORPRENDIDO MAS QUE OTROS GRUPOS QUE HAN SALIDO OK.
