Band MembersOliver Shaw (Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards, Bass, Programming) with gigging members Ben Pritchett (Guitar), Adam Davy (Laptop/Mixing). THE ALBUM "OUR CONDITION" IS NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY AT THE I-TUNES STORE. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE: Our Condition
InfluencesWorld Party, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Neil Finn, Elliott Smith, REM, American Music Club/Mark Eitzel, + Beatles, Stones, Dylan and the usual 60's/70's suspects. More recently Morrissey/Smiths, Daft Punk, New Order, LCD Soundsystem, funky house, electro beats & bleeps.
Sounds LikeVariously, The Beatles with I.T. certificates; Elvis Costello fronting a glam-rock Depeche Mode; Morrissey meets Basement Jaxx; a posh southern New Order; a very poor man's U2. From lo-fi rock to pop, disco and house, all hopefully held together by a distinctive lyrical "worldview" inspired by Hicks, Houellebecq and Heat magazine.
Record LabelNot so much "unsigned" as "untapped".
Type of LabelUnsigned

   About Worldview
"Shaw is an intelligent wordsmith and isn't afraid to take on issues...good tunes, clever lyrics...a consistent, if rather misanthropic, musical vision" - Oxfordbands.com. "Worldview's aptly titled "Our Condition" takes a snapshot view of modern living, with its raw honest exploration of life today...It's a strong offering with music that combines the ballads of REM with the dance beats of Duran Duran" - Oxfordshire Music Scene. Worldview is fronted by Oliver Shaw, Oxford-based songwriter, performer and producer. His music aims to fuse the sounds of Indie and Dance with insightful lyrics reminiscent of Elvis Costello or Morrissey, and the melodic sensibility of the classic 60's acts. Oliver began playing in bands, including one with Coldplay's bassist-to-be, and then spent several years honing a one-man band approach in his bedroom studio, writing, singing, recording and playing everything himself in the manner of Stevie Wonder, early Prince or World Party. He self-released an album, "War Years", in late 2002, culled from home sessions. A second set, "Paying For It", followed in January 2005, and his tracks have been featured on various unsigned compilation CDs as well as gaining some radio exposure. Oliver is now going under the moniker Worldview, and a gigging line-up mixing live instruments and laptop is playing dates in Oxford and London. THE NEW SINGLE "PARTY'S OVER" IS NOW AVAILABLE AT THE I-TUNES STORE, AS WELL AS AMAZON MP3, NAPSTER AND ALL GOOD DIGITAL DOWNLOAD STORES. Party's Over

good job i'm in a different continent or you'd feel these crushed toes kicking your fat arse... just joking! - i like the mix, it's nice and bouncy. is this a new departure for worldview into the realm of hip hop? p.s.
your remix is still underway, it might be ready next year sometime which will give your public plenty of time to prepare himself
