First Listen :: OSKAR



Trying a Google search for 'Oskar' brings up all sorts of interesting things, from a blind cat to a 'healing cafe' in Queensland, Australia, but nothing which seems to pertain to a five-piece band from Edinburgh.

Eventually, however, we sussed out they were lurking name-wise under CAPITALS, and found them. They have just released their debut self-titled EP on the back of supporting Catfish & The Bottlemen and Embrace. And it has to be said, OSKAR don't just look a tad like Mumford & Sons, but at times sound rather like a Scottish variant of too.

The six-track work - which can be purchased via the band's Bandcamp - was recorded on a tight budget after the band won the chance to record at Substation in Fife.

Check a couple of our favourite tracks from the EP below.
