Oceans Ate Alaska are Hollow

2024-01-31 by franklinbumbleton | 34 Comments
Oceans Ate Alaska have returned with their first offering since 2022's Disparity. The band has also announced they have once again parted ways with vocalist James Harrison, who rejoined the band in 2020 after leaving in 2016 as well as the departure of their lead guitarist Adam Zytkiewicz. Replacing Harrison on vocals is Joel Heywood, vocalist of UK Metalcore band Spitting Teeth.

James Harrison has also released a lengthy statement on Instagram, stating "Rejoining Oceans Ate Alaska was a mistake" and alleged that the band had a toxic culture of in-groups, homophobia, sexism and immature behavior. These claims were backed in the comments by other former vocalist for OAA Jake Noakes.

OAA did not comment on these allegations directly but stated "Despite what some people may think, we have nothing but love for James and Adam! We wish them both happiness, health and good luck in their future endeavours. We will always appreciate all of the hard work they put into OAA over the years!"

Ehh that chorus is modern architects/tdwp i dont appreciate that at all. Guitars and vocals combo makes this sound more like metalcore than oceans ate alaskacore.

I suggest everyone go read the statement James made today regarding the band before supporting them. Besides that shit is still weak.

I saw OAA couple years ago on warped tour (great set) afterwards went over to the merch table and Chris turner made nothing but rude mean comments about Americans and how stupid they were. So my guess is he’s a piece of shit to everyone and the other dudes couldn’t take it.
