Ocean Bottom Nightmare

About Me


Ocean Bottom Nightmare formed in Nottingham at the beginning of 2007 out of a mutual desire to make quirky rock music in the vein of some of their favourite bands: Mclusky, Reuben, Biffy Clyro and Refused, to name a few. They cut their teeth playing a plethora of gigs around the UK with the likes of Future Of The Left, Baddies, The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Gay For Johnny Depp, Tubelord and Blakfish.
They quickly became renowned for extremely energetic, frantic and engaging performances, but while able to maintain a tight and controlled live sound. Aside from an exciting spectacle on stage, the music itself was able to garner a rare cross genre appeal by combining the passion and raw emotion of punk and metal with a pop sensibility and strong sense of melody and harmony. It was immediate and in your face, yet layered enough to reward repeated listening.
In 2009 they released their debut EP, ‘We Are Serious’: four tracks of distorted bass, three-part harmonies and manic screaming, with a touch of glockenspiel for good measure.
"This local three-piece fail to disappoint and constantly deliver a frantic flurry which will certainly bring the trio a colossal fan base. Rating: 5/5"
- Nottingham Essential Guide
"Judging from their savage burst of an EP, you can expect nothing less than a frantic storm of crashing guitars at ear-splitting volume"
- Left Lion
"Massively distorted bass, the occasional scream, Bad Religion-esque group harmonies, repeating mantras and even the occasional Donnas style high melodies make for a unique mix."
- Punktastic.com
"Faultless... Possibly what an apocalypse should sound like."
- Sandman Magazine
"As cliched as it sounds, these lads have created a sound of their own: beautiful harmonies and brutal riffage aplenty."
- The Mic

"You are good looking and goth girls want to fuck you."
- Diskant.net
"Ocean Bottom Nightmare deal in the kind of ribald bastardry spawned by Mclusky and Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster back when men were men, and men from Ikara Colt didn't work in East End hipster bars."
