“Something gross and tacky with some pretty moments” OSWALD SLAIN tease April’s EP with an ‘Ugly’ song

BRISTOL rockers OSWALD SLAIN explore the dark side of the ‘70s adult entertainment industry in latest single ‘Ugly,’ taken from April’s debut EP, ‘Kiss Me On The Mouth.’

“’Ugly’ was one of the first tunes we made at home messing about in our little studio,” said vocalist and lyricist, Charlie Fitzgerald. “We really enjoyed the slapping drum beat and fuzzy guitars and wanted to make something gross and tacky with some pretty moments. Lyrically it’s inspired by the film ‘Boogie Nights’ and all the deranged antics that went on behind the glitz and the glamour of the ‘70s adult entertainment industry. I like things that aren’t perfect and people who are not afraid to just be themselves. Everyone has an ugly side or a bad angle, but that only adds to an overall greater beauty in my opinion.”

The track was produced in-house, and mastered at Loud Mastering (PJ Harvey, XTC, Big Special) by Jason Mitchell.

The band have also announced a UK tour, details below:

April 17: Trillians, Newcastle
