Birmingham, England (1990 – present)
Falling between the energetic pop/rock of mod revival and the psychedelic experimentations of Traffic, Ocean Colour Scene came to be one of the leading bands of the traditionalist, post- Britpop of the mid-’90s. Although they had formed in Birmingham in 1990 and had several minor hits during the height of Madchester in the early ’90s, the band didn’t earn a large following until 1996, when their second album, Moseley Shoals, became a multi-platinum success story in the U.K. Their ascent was greatly aided by Paul Weller and Oasis’ Noel Gallagher, both publicly praised Ocean Colour Scene for keeping the flame of real rock & roll burning during the ’90s. And, according to one specific definition, they were right, since Ocean Colour Scene was nothing if not rock & roll traditionalists, drawing heavily from British Invasion pop, psychedelia, soul, R&B, and blues-rock to create a reverential homage to classic rock.

CypherUK My Dad used to listen to OCS along with the Jam and others. So before I really knew who OCS were their songs were imprinted on me. For anyone new to them and looking to get to know their stuff the 'best of' album called 21 that they released last year would be a great place to start. Loads of great songs but I think Big Star is one of the best songs I've ever heard. It's become a sin to hit the skip button when that song comes on. More people need to know about them tbh.
