About Band
Leapfrogging conventional rock sounds and hop-scotching conformity, these unassuming young gentlemen yell Up your pigeon-hole! to an industry obsessed with format and repeated musical templates. In the humble surroundings of a quaint English seaside village, four of the four members of odd shaped head reside in chaotic harmony: Paul (Bass/Vocals), Ricky (Guitar/ Vocals), Rob (Drums) and Andrew (Guitar); from childhood chums to grown up geeky misfits.
The quirky quartet take a plunge with their new single and video ~ the multi coloured ket song ~ due to feature on MTV and stamp their un-erasable mark on 2006. I want a red oneyou can have an orange one well you cant always get what you want! is the Odd shApEd mantra chanted as a dull grey world is assaulted with splatters of bold bright colour.
Their eclectic brand of energetic, rhythmic, funk-punk; jerky bass popping, powerful scatterbrained drumming and stabbing guitars bursting into vibrant melodies draws more fans along to venues already packed with a collage of characters.
Quintessentially British - just like The Beatles are rock, but aren't, Odd Shaped Head are punk, but aren't every half-baked crap band in the world could learn something from these guysthis single will be their road to fame. Excellent!! Lowcut Magazine, Denmark 06
