OCEAN GROVE // Release Video for ‘Lights On Kind of Lover’ + Sign to UNFD

Southside hardcore fringe explorers Ocean Grove have released a new video for Lights on Kind of Lover, celebrating their signing to Australian heavy music label UNFD. Watch below:

The video is a tripped out typhoon of 90s music video clichés and tough-as-nails strutting down abandoned laneways. Grab a cup of coffee, first.

The release of Lights on Kind of Lover is the first new music fans have heard since 2015’s acclaimed Black Label EP.

Vocalist Luke Holmes explains their decision in a statement: “We’ve spent the better half of the past year in ambivalence deciding who and where is the best stream to entrust with our music and we were very close to making decisions to the contrary. Loyalty and belief mean a lot more to OG than hypotheticals or promises. UNFD through their actions, not words, proved to us that they were the best entity for us to take our art above and beyond. We are especially excited about the creative freedom they have afforded us.”

To protect their integrity, they’ve committed themselves to a cyberpunkish “Rhapsody Manifesto,“ outlining their expectations to fans and themselves as artists.

Audiences can experience OG’s live show first hand on the Northlane and In Hearts Wake Equinox tour this June.
