Interview: Oceansize and Manchester

We did an interview with Oceansize. They released 'Effloresce' in 2003 and it got raving reviews. A few years ago they were voted the best un-signed band in Manchester but don't expect to hear The Stone Roses sound in their music, they get their influences from Helmet, Tool and Jane's Addiction. We asked them if they found it difficult going against the Oasis grain:

"We started to get this backlash of people who kind of took the music offensively because it was like we were invading their turf with music that doesn't represent their town. It took along time for that scene to die."
