Oceans upon us

1. How did you come up with the name Oceans upon us?
The Atlantic Ocean was literally upon us when we had to change our name from our previous alias!

2. How long have you been together?
We have been together since Mid March this year! [2008]

3. What are your main influences?
Wow, we have a lot of influences... I guess we can name a few... Funeral For A Friend, Fightstar, The Future... Joe has a fetish for 'The Fall of Troy', but don't tell anyone we said that... I guess besides that, sheep. We like sheep. That’s why we go to Wales to record... It's all about the sheep!

4. What best describes what the band is about?
We just wanna enjoy what we can produce before we become fat and bald (Its okay ladies, we're taking every precaution to stop that from happening!). So, we go out there, we play the best shows we can possibly pull off, and we promote our selves like mad to show you lot what we're made of!

5. What has been one of your main highlights as a band?
We've actually started to pull a decent crowd to shows now and people know our lyrics back to back. It's insane. We played UPLOAD ALLDAYER two Saturdays ago and from the moment we walked on stage to the moment we walked off the screams were deafening! We had a great response from that show and things are really starting to kick off now, we really appreciate all the time people have taken to come and see us in our first 20 shows!

6. What are your planes for the future?
Our plans for the future! Well, we're gunner sit down over the next couple of months and calm the gigging down by a step over Christmas to get some new material on the go. We have a lot of 'written material' it’s just a matter of sitting down and putting all the pieces together so to speak. The new stuff is so much better, every song we write seems to have an extra layer of polish on it, it’s a sick feeling, and we think your gunner frikken love it just as much as we do!

7. Any last words?
We'd just like to thank a few people (yeah, its cheesy but we think a few people deserve a mention)
-All the ladies and gents that have made time to check us out and come to our shows
-All the bands we have played with and had such great times with already
-Never Means Maybe for being such a sick and twisted, yet hilariously funny lot
-Neak Young for producing our EP
-And Natalia for drawing up the artwork on our debut EP
And just one last thank you to everyone past, present and future who has given us the inspiration to really get this whole thing off the ground and been behind us every step of the way pushing just as hard as we are. It's almost like we have a family behind us! - Cheerssss guys!
