About Me

"Indie Rock crusaders - these guys are the real thing - the real deal" - Eban Crawford, RFL (USA)

"The songs are brilliant, a great band - I couldn't get "Love" out of my head for days !" - Craig Macintosh, Dogs Die In Hot Cars
"Fabulous and gorgeous" Vegas Girl, pornstar USA
"...representing the very best of indie music in Scotland" - The Tartan Podcast
"Falsetto fuelled epic Indie rock/pop Gods" - Dave Chislett The Mail and Guardian, FHM, Stage Magazine
"Great Songs to live life to" - PulseFm
"Myspace is valuable. Just heard a Scottish band we've never come across till now. They're called Oswald and the songs and guitar sounds are great. Check them out via the link from our friends section. Too few bands (particularly in Scotland if I dare say so) are going for the emotional thing these days and they are one of them." - The Janes, acclaimed Scottish Indie Band
"Awesome" - Garreth, Indievous promotions
"Love the sounds" - Picturehouse - acclaimed Dublin band who have 4 platinum selling albums.
"Digging your music" - Radar (EMI) - UK Alternative band.
"In my opinion, this is the band that could take the world class rock crown to Scotland. U2, Coldplay etc...look out !" Fingers & Thumbs, festival organiser.
"Oswald fuck commercialism and Keep it ROCKIN RAW" MC Soom T (Spinning Records)
