Oxygen Thief lifts a free single from 'Destroy It Yourself'; tours
- Artist: Oxygen Thief
- Title: Mestle and Portar
- Format: digital download
- Released: Monday 5th March 2012
Nearly
a year on from his debut album Destroy
It Yourself,
Bristol's favourite (only?) acoustic metalhead returns with a
headline tour and free single this March.
BAM!
Just when you thought it was safe to emerge from the shadows without
a long-haired Bristolian in brightly-coloured DMs shouting quotes
from The
Wire at
you (“you
can't lose if you don't play”),
Oxygen
Thief
lifts a fresh single from his acclaimed 2011 debut, Destroy
It Yourself.
Arguably
the album highlight, 'Mestle
and Portar'
is typical of Destroy
It Yourself's
brash staccato sound; the frontline of heavy-hit guitars filed to a
point alongside part-spoken part-sung part-yelled vocals that leave
critics struggling for direct comparison. Hard rock played out on an
acoustic guitar, this confident rarely-heard sound earned him a
regular slot at 2000Trees
festival
and support to Hold
Your Horse Is,
Chris
T-T,
[Placebo
side-project] Planes, and Ben
Marwood
alongside
his numerous headline shows.

.. and we're live
Despite being a record label since 2007, after Myspace we didn't ever bother with Facebook.
Then, last week, we got Twitter.
This week, we got a blog.
By next week, we'll all be prime minister.
