about
OATS – The avant-garde post-hardcore punk outfit have released their second single TV DINNER, now available on all major streaming platforms. The Amsterdam-based band have taken a heavier direction with their new song, featuring dissonant guitars, steady bass, pounding drums and aggressive vocals. The track reflects another strong point of this collective, delivering a straightforward message through a tight and controlled performance that feels like a jab to the face.
Whereas their previous release REFORMAT TO RUN was a bid for its listeners to strive for change and growth despite discomfort, TV DINNER is about consuming media. To be stuck on the couch, unable to move and having to take in the show. To be so badly absorbed by fiction that we lose track of reality. The line between the two has become blurred and we struggle to make a distinction. What initially set out to be a moment of mindless entertainment has let us to be swallowed by sofa cushions. Unable to reach for the remote we are held captive, forcefully fed by the news feed.
