This month we catch up with Mike Vennart of Oceansize, a timely chat ahead of our reissue of the momentous and cinematic “Frames”, but not just a standard reissue, we have of course given it the Kscope treatment, it is presented on gatefold 3LP and includes extra tracks and rarities plus unseen photos.
Nowadays Mike enjoys success with his latest project Empire State Bastard as well as touring with Biffy Clyro, But host Billy Reeves asks him to go back in time and reflect about his time with the hugely influential Oceansize and even wonders what it would take to get them back on the road.
PLUS the latest single from O.R.k and a reminder that The Pineapple Thief are hard touring in the USA so we thought their topically named single Election Day deserved a spin!
