Sub Pop signs Oxford Collapse
Sub Pop has signed Oxford Collapse. The band previously released two full-lengths and an EP through Kanine Records and the label had this to say as description:
Michael Pace jams econo-lines onto his Gibson Marauder, Dan Fetherston sprays high-hats and cymbals over a mostly 4/4 gallop, and Adam Rizer proves once and for all that repeated listens to R.E.M.'s Reckoning is a good way to learn how to play bass.
While we do not support the "launch" of any "revival," these are influences (Minutemen, early R.E.M., Wire, Mission of Burma) we can get behind.
The band has not set a date for their Sub Pop debut, but in the interim wll be likely issuing a new 7-inch through Version City Records.
