Oil On Canvas Info

Oil On Canvas are a multicultural 4 piece pop/rock/indie unsigned band based in London. They are made up of vocalist Rob, guitarist Rafael and bassist Tom. The band can be traced back to 2006 with their self-released self-titled debut album “Oil On Canvas”. This alternative rock album was met with encouraging reviews from national music magazines, acknowledging the musicianship such as Rafael’s beautiful guitar work in the instrumental “Chama-Me”. But it did not meet with the commercial success the band was hoping for.

A tough time of decision making lead the band to write more radio friendly anthemic rock tunes that appeared on the three song 2007 EP release recorded at Metropolis Studios, London. With the help of Rob’s vocals powering over the new songs like “Game On” and exciting live shows, a loyal following was building and word spread across England’s capital of an exciting new group. One of the most enjoyable aspects of the performances were the new “get up and dance” songs.

They returned to Metropolis to record their second EP in the summer of 2008. The furthering evolution of the band now emphasised on the feel good factor and up-beat rhythms. It was also the first time Tom exhibited his trumpet playing in the acoustic song “House Of Cards”. They continued with great gigs attracting more excited fans at well known venues across London.

So far in 2009 OOC have continued with memorable gigs and attracting more interest from labels. Whether they sign something or not, there will be a new release this summer with a giant launch party to match.
