Ocean Grove Showcase New Single ‘FLY AWAY’ & Announce New Label Home. Touring With Polaris This Winter

OCEAN GROVE
SHOWCASE NEW SINGLE ‘FLY AWAY’
AND ANNOUNCE NEW LABEL HOME

TOURING WITH POLARIS THIS WINTER

Today a new chapter rises for the electrifying Melbourne heavy trio Ocean Grove, with the band announcing the launch of their very own label, ODDWORLD Records, as well as their signing to SharpTone Records outside of Australia & New Zealand.

“We’re very pumped to be joining the SharpTone Records family,” shares vocalist Dale Tanner. “We feel more ready than ever to represent a label of their calibre and are so grateful for their confidence in us. In return, we hope to bring a fresh and unique sound to their roster as they take The Oddworld global.”

Accompanying the group signing to their own label and SharpTone Records, Ocean Grove have also today unleashed a sonic sucker punch in the form of a brand new single FLY AWAY with the trio returning to their salient nu metal traditions.

A blistering concoction of downtuned verses, thunderous grooves, rap vocals and 90s-level grit, FLY AWAY is an instant Oddworld masterpiece ready to whip you into a palpitating frenzy.

“FLY AWAY is a return to our sonic roots and the definitive OG sound,” shares Tanner of the latest OG track. “With an injection of fresh energy and experimentation, the song primes the new era of Ocean Grove with a hard and heavy edge.”

An electrifying force in the realms of heavy music, Ocean Grove fuse nu metal, hardcore and alternative rock into a sound like no other; a sound that is entirely and wholeheartedly Oddworld Music.

Comprising an eclectic trio of misfits, vocalist Dale Tanner, bassist/vocalist Twiggy Hunter and drummer/producer Sam Bassal, Ocean Grove have evolved into a global force to be reckoned with, with their unique talents and a shared passion for inventive thinking turning heads and pushing against uninspired standards and musical norms.

From their 2017 debut album The Rhapsody Tapes, which debuted at #5 on the ARIA Charts, through to their sophomore 2020 release Flip Phone Fantasy and 2022’s Up In The Air Forever, both also landing in the ARIA Charts top 10, Ocean Grove have cultivated resounding acclaim for their groundbreaking craftsmanship and fearless experimentation, as well as their unwavering connection to their legion of fans.

Brandishing influences that span Korn, N.E.R.D., and Faith No More, Ocean Grove have never been ones afraid to think outside the box, with their unforgettable creations finding them in hot demand with tours alongside Limp Bizkit, August Burns Red, Crossfaith, and Don Broco, and appearances at the likes of Download Festival Australia, Good Things Festival and UNIFY Gathering.

A multifaceted light at the forefront of the alternative music scene, Ocean Grove will next appear supporting Polaris for their massive regional Australian tour which kicks off on June 27 in Cairns, and concludes in Frankston on July 28.

Polaris Australian Regional Tour 2024 With Special Guests Ocean Grove, Bloom & Inertia

Destroy All Lines & Resist presents

POLARIS
AUSTRALIAN REGIONAL TOUR 2024

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS
OCEAN GROVE
BLOOM & INERTIA

POLARIS are primed to return to Australian stages, today announcing a massive regional tour this June and July alongside special guests OCEAN GROVE and on select dates BLOOM and INERTIA.

Kicking off in Cairns on June 27, POLARIS will electrify stages across Queensland, New South Wales, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria, closing out on July 28 in Frankston.

“We’re super excited to be heading back out to Regional parts of Australia this June / July.

It’s been quite a few years since we’ve been to some of these places and we’re visiting some new towns also which is going to be really nice.

I feel very lucky to be able to visit so many different areas of our beautiful country and I love being able to play our music to people that don’t often get tours coming through their towns.” Jamie Hails, Polaris

Fear and its potent ability to divide and unite us beats at the core of POLARIS’s third album Fatalism, with the 2023 full length debuting at #1 on the ARIA Charts, and also garnering nominations for Australian Album of the Year at the 2023 J Awards and for the 2023 Australian Music Prize. Steeped in angst alongside underlying catharsis, Fatalism organically builds on the bleak imagery and hard-hitting soundscapes permeating Polaris’s previous release, 2020’s The Death of Me, while also galvanizing the Sydney five-piece’s trademark blend of melodic metalcore, lush post rock, electronic flourishes and beyond.

POLARIS had already firmly established their place as a fixture in the Australian heavy landscape via their first two albums, 2020’s ARIA Award-nominated The Death Of Me and 2017’s The Mortal Coil, which debuted in the Australian Top 10. Having been awarded a laundry list of accolades along with sold-out headline tours of Australia and previous tours across the globe, including headlining iconic Australian venues such as Fortitude Music Hall, Hordern Pavilion & Margaret Court Arena in September 2023 on their Fatalism album tour.

2024 will also see POLARIS appearing at multiple international festivals and supporting Beartooth for an epic Europe and UK tour starting in October.

Aussie fusion mavericks OCEAN GROVE are no strangers to merging rock, metal, grunge, hip-hop, Brit-pop influences and beyond, pioneering their own signature genre: Oddworld Music. Hailing from Melbourne, OCEAN GROVE released their third full-length album Up In The Air Forever in 2022 to critical acclaim, and have since been on a global assault, bringing their dynamic live show to audiences around the world. Recently appearing at Alpha Wolf’s curated CVLTFEST earlier this year, OCEAN GROVE also supported Don Broco across the UK in late 2023.

Sydney metalcore outfit BLOOM combine ferocity and impassioned lyricism, with their immersive catalogue centered on grief, love and exile. Releasing their brand new album Maybe In Another Life earlier this year, BLOOM flexed surging rhythms and memorable hooks, unforgettably snapshotting the group’s burgeoning strengths that has also led them to national tours supporting the likes of Thornhill, Holding Absence, While She Sleeps, ERRA, Ocean Grove and Bad Omens.

One of Australia’s most exciting alternative acts, Sydney’s INERTIA traverse the darkest corners of metal music, coated in elements of dark pop and soul and sprinklings of emo pop. Since emerging in 2017, INERTIA now sit faced towards their debut album, with their recent single Dominion capturing the group’s nuanced take on immersive existensialism beating at the core of their equally compelling live show, as seen alongside Dayseeker, Holding Absence, Caskets, Thousand Below and more.

With 22 dates locked and loaded across regional Australia this June and July, do not miss this all-Aussie heavy assault!
