There have been many influences in the making of OXEN REAL... Jesus Christ MUSE Fiona Apple george/elixir Family Members ALICE TERRY!!!
Sounds Like
Mellodramatic like The Butterfly Effect... chord progressions like MUSE... jazzy stuff like Fionna Apple... Mellow stuff like george/elixir mixed together... and yeah a bunch of other stuff that we call our own...
A Band isn't really what you'd call OXEN REAL... it's more like a thought, ideas from didfferent places thrown together by this one guy... and others sort of helping him to create them...
Josh Eltherington... Singer/songwriter... plays most of the instruments himself... but still yearns to record all of his sounds together... He started writing when he was young and has developed his talents and skills to create a style of his own...
The band was named OXEN REAL last year [2006] after changing it from 'Shine Phoenix'... It had started out as OXEN REEL but with great coucil was changed to OXEN REAL which it is still known by today...
Though nothing has really been started yet... by the end of this year, Josh hopes to have an album underway, if not, finished. The album's title... 'The Ceiling Sky' has already been decided on and a list of songs also been chosen... Now all that stands in the way is money and a studio... We'll keep you posted...
