The Oxford Coma, which is a very clever band name, is a unique type of heavy. They're not trying to rip your head off with crushing riffs, but you can absolutely sense the angst and anger in the band's music. We're premiering the very unique new song "Cartoons" today, which vocalist and guitarist Billy Tegethoff says is representative of his own frustrations.
“These track are my frustrations, addictions, neuroses, and grief,” says leader Billy Tegethoff. “They’re my analysis of the times.”
"The culture of social media wars, 24-hour streams of videos of cops committing atrocities, fucking Donald goddam Trump, nationalism, racism, misogyny, and other forms of violence has had me alternately furious and depressed for the last several years," he says.
The Oxford Coma will release Everything Out Of Tune on October 13, and you can grab a digital pre-order here and vinyl here. Everything Out Of Tune was recorded and mixed by Steve Albini (Neurosis, Weedeater, etc.), and features co-writing efforts from Sacha Dunable of Intronaut on "Trauma (Maybe I'm Forgetting Something)" and "Smack & Temporary Enlightenment."
