Ox
Broken Silver

unsigned/Worst Case Scenario

WE SAY

Well crafted lyrics, building anthemic tunes with plenty of hooks, Ox are a Brighton-based duo that have arrived with just the right amount of local-scene hype to propel them to great things. Past support from Radio 1 saw them play the station's Sound City event, with the right backing the buzz will spread beyond Brighton. Broken Silver, being released through new indie label Worst Case Scenario, is an eloquent and accomplished debut. They are available for signing worldwide. London gig: March 16 at Spill @ The Watershed , 267 The Broadway, Wimbledon
