   About Oswald

The unique UK indie band, Oswald are back on the UK scene once again after achieving great success in the US and Europe. The band attained significant national radio presence in US, Canada, Germany, Italy, Austria, Sweden and France amongst other countries, and are now setting their sights closer to home.

Having accomplished two Number 1 chart placements in the US Musicgram charts and a number 3 at the same time with the songs ‘Home’ and ‘Tumbling Down’, the three-piece rock band from Glasgow are currently making preparations for their release in the UK.

They are known for producing songs with a true voice to worldly issues and have been back in the studio writing new material that will certainly please their fans; more songs that reflect their unique 360 degree view on the world, in true Oswald style.

Most would agree that Oswald’s music makes a difference; and the US chart organisation Musicgram agree "Sometimes a band comes along and writes a song that makes you want to stand up … Oswald’s song ‘Speak Out’ could be an anthem for this generation. Speak out and shout you’re not alone!”

Oswald also received a stamp of approval from Nick Stewart, who famously discovered and signed U2 to Island Records, saying simply "Oswald are the real deal." Known to some in the Industry as ‘The Colonel’, Nick has also agreed to support and mentor Oswald using his extensive skills, experience and support team.

"Oswald are the real deal"
Nick 'The Colonel' Stewart, Nick Stewart & Associates

"Falsetto fuelled epic Indie rock/pop Gods"
Dave Chislett The Mail and Guardian, FHM

"Indie Rock crusaders - these guys are the real thing - the real deal"
Eban Crawford, RFL (USA)

"We love this band - can’t say enough good things about them U2 look
out - they are on your heels!"

RockAndRollDream.com

"Great Songs to live life to"
PulseFm

"Awesome"
Garreth, Indievous Promotions

"In my opinion, this is the band that could take the world class rock
crown to Scotland. U2,Coldplay etc... look out !"

Hello. Sorry if this looks like spam.

Having released a couple of tuneful albums with theAudiologist and Soni Jimm since my last LP, "Fear of Mathematics", Section 27 Netlabel brings you "Wrpdata”, containing 14 tracks full of chunky, breathy and some would even say pleasantly broken breaks, some good-time-mind-fuck glitch, a few (thankfully blissful) orchestrated mixes featuring the talents of Pinklogik and theAudiologist (also acting as co-producer on this release) respectively, and ends sweetly with some beautiful spoken word poetry by the lovely aussie Cindel Waddington.

A delight on the sensory organs from start to finish, "Wrpdata" is available now for *free* download (see my page or www.myspace.com/section27netlabel). Licensed by Creative Commons.

Have some.

Two inimitable rock ‘n’ rollers are set to take the stage together this year, as Ricky Warwick (The Almighty) and Eddie Spaghetti (Supersuckers) appear live at Classic Grand on Saturday, 27th June as part of their 2009 joint UK tour.

Neither of these boys are strangers to success, as solo entities or in fronting the incredible bands they have played with. Irish-born singer/songwriter/guitarist Ricky Warwick has a performing and songwriting ability that has led him to achieve ten Top 40 singles and four Top 20 albums in the UK with former band, The Almighty, and to tour with Def Leppard as a solo artist. Ricky has embraced no-frills, emotionally direct, pure music exemplified by such American influences as Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, Woodie Guthrie and Steve Earle.

“What we've got here's a bunch of gritty acoustic rock steeped songs, full of passion, dirt, whiskey and tales of a misspent youth and years of being on the road.” – Metal Invader

Eddie Spaghetti has been the ringleader of the prolific Rock band Supersuckers since 1988. But in 2002, Spaghetti also found time for a remarkable solo career. His first solo album, Sauce, appeared in 2004 to high acclaim. By 2005 Spaghetti had found enough time and songs for another solo flight, and continues to work on solo material to this day.

“Drips with the same dastardly good-time juice that defines the best Supersuckers stuff.”- All Music Guide

Seperately, these men create unique interpretations of similarly-influenced music. Together, they make an incredible line up of Americana-infused guitar music that packs a punch.
