One of my absolute favourites and I have a lot of OCS favourites 😂 Lucky to have been following these guys since 1996 and even met them at the queens hall on Edinburgh in 1996 where they gave us a signed 7 inch demo of you’ve got it bad 😁
I wish this band still existed!! They make meaningful lyrics and amazing melodies Sooooo underestimated I’ve wished them back for yrs in terms of them letting the know who they are as the world would be better for them! This album will always be my early childhood saviour along with along morrisette lol The words mean more the older u get they set more So talented 😊🥰🥰🥰🥰
I first saw OCS in 1996 at Knebworth woth Oasis and all those other fantastic bands, bought Moseley Shoals the next day. Played that album to death, this track still gives me goose bumps! The solo part is just immense. Saw them again this weekend and they were just as fantastic. Only difference was in 1996 I was a carefree 19 year old now I'm 47!.
The only thing that surprises about OCS is why it took so long for them to hit the big time. By 1996, Steve and Damon were 27 while Oscar and Simon were 31 - pretty late to make it as rockers (Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison were all dead at 27, for instance). I guess, however, the OCS members all looked younger than their actual age. Looking at them playing in 1996, who would've guessed Simon was 31? A lot of the other bands that made it big that decade did so when members wer a fair bit younger. For instance, when Oasis broke through in 1994, Liam Gallagher was only 22 (although I guess Noel was 27). On the other hand, that long apprenticeship of hard slog and live gigging, probably did give OCS a real advantage over that whole layer of 90s bands when they did finally burst into the bigtime in '96.
Too be fare, I was 16 on 96 and OCS did seem like old geezers. They wrote some great tunes but their image seemed a bit naff, especially to me considering my dad was an original mod.
So heres my thing, 96... Mum n Dad were still alive, England put on a show at the Euros, I left college to start a Computing degree, discovered Weed, Friday nights were all about TFI then a night of the fizz, saw Ocean Colour Scene at the electric ballrooom Camden and started dating this young college girl Joanne who was totally beautiful inside and out and wanted to learn about sex ... shit i had it good.
I'm 27 and my dad brought me up on OCS, one of the first bands I was ever exposed to. I think the world has gone to shit and I envy you for being a young man back then. Definitely sounds like you had it good! You didn't have it bad at all :)
I bought You Got It Bad single back in mid 90s, But never seen the promo vid of it. Along with single version Travelers Tune and Hundred Mile High City are the best OCS has done. Is this the orignal promo video or recreated for youtube?
@celticghirlxxx Saturday wasn't released too long ago, and On The Leyline before that. Plenty of OCS albums knocking about (North Atlantic Drift is sooo ridiculously good.) Have some patience on the OCS front :) they always come. We got Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds coming, which should be class. You know who I want back? The La's! On other news the Bluetones are splitting up :( final tour atm.
For me, they've never made a better song than 'The Circle' but when I think of the essence of Summer back in my childhood in the 90s, this song is one of the songs I think of that really encapsulates the feeling.
Bought Painting too. "We don't look in the mirror now, cause the face that's lookin back, is lookin rather cracked, so we don't look in the mirror now..."
@stevecelticfan1888 god knows mate. That's crazy eh? I wish OCS would release an album, oasis and the stone roses would get back together (I'd accept the seahorses reforming as I doubt the roses will ever get back together) and Jim Morrison would come back from the dead. Apart from that I don't want much lol Hail Hail
I used to see OCS at Wolverhampton Polytechnic back in the day, it was obvious they were a cut above the rest. Then the singer started getting a bit gobby in the music press, who turned on the band and killed them off temporarily. Then they re-emerged with the Britpop stuff.....quality songs
Meh. I bought Mosley Shoals in 1996 when I was 15 - key Britpop target. After a month I sold it to a friend (only time I ever did this), because as catchy as the songs sound, there's not enough substance behind them for me. I like to listen occasionally as they remind me of this time, but musically they hold limited value. I'm not saying they're not good, but for me they rode the wave of britpop like no other band and on their own merits they may not have reached such heights at the time.
The summer of 1996 was probably the coolest time ever and this album was being played everywhere
I saw osc in Dundee card hall back then , and still I go back for nostalgic 90,s memories and the vibe then...that's gone now.☘️♥️
True!
I don't think we realise how good we had it back in 1996. Absolute quality tune that will stand the test of time!
Totally agree with u this music brings back memories when I was in my 20s
Take a bow. 💙
Totally agree
Totally agree! That was an awesome time, young, carefree and happy, I miss 1996!!
Mate.... I only heard this again today on absolute 90s it's still such an overlooked belter of tune 🍻
How does this not have millions of views?
The Beatles,The jam and Ocean colour scene are the best bands ever!
In your opinion
mine too @@TheMusicalElitist
Can't knock that selection. 3 minute pop songs.
@@TheMusicalElitist You remind me of a Tool fan.
Add the Kinks into that and you have my 4 favourite bands
Such a banging choon. The drums are tight as fuck, bass rolling, guitar burning, vocals sizzling. Top band in their day 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great band massively underated .every albums top notch UTB
That guitar solo is on 🔥
brilliant tune, a 90s classic
1996.... greatest year of my life!.
agree.
Agree
95 was better
definitely one of my favourite bands at the time can't believe it's 20yrs ago damn
Please can someone enlighten my brain as to how ocs have most songs in the low 100ks of views after a decade+. Absolutely astonishing.
Great Band. I saw them live in the 90s a few times. 🎸👍
One of my absolute favourites and I have a lot of OCS favourites 😂 Lucky to have been following these guys since 1996 and even met them at the queens hall on Edinburgh in 1996 where they gave us a signed 7 inch demo of you’ve got it bad 😁
Music was so good in the 90s I didn't have much time for OCS. I love them now.
I wish this band still existed!! They make meaningful lyrics and amazing melodies
Sooooo underestimated
I’ve wished them back for yrs in terms of them letting the know who they are as the world would be better for them!
This album will always be my early childhood saviour along with along morrisette lol
The words mean more the older u get they set more
So talented 😊🥰🥰🥰🥰
The do still exist and they're still touring.
They do and there touring soon 😀
Seeing them on Friday night in Scarborough
Quality track, awesome band!!!
An indispensable band in the 90's.
Still sounds terrific.
What an understed band
Lyrics drums guitar
💯 better than shit on radio
Ocs should have got more recognition, top band 👍
Power tune acoustic set 17/02/15 at Sage Gateshead, unbelievable Jeff...
Decent pop music back then, that got plenty of AirPlay, nowadays all kids hear on mainstream radio is BGT X factor driven R&B.
Joined Army in 92 these guys were tops now back in 19 with Lambretta-good times!!!
if the world was laughing would you close your ears. Definitely my favourite OCS Song x
Great Guitar tracks I must say. Stereo as it should be ! Probably took them about three weeks, but worth it
favourite tune by ocean colour scene
Quality tune that still sounds fresh as ....
Best thing to come out of Solihull since Jasper Carrott :)

No one would sign them. Their first album they financed themselves.
Too be fare, I was 16 on 96 and OCS did seem like old geezers. They wrote some great tunes but their image seemed a bit naff, especially to me considering my dad was an original mod.
@@WorldCupWillie Thankfully nobody gives a shit what you thinks.
Noel was 28 when Oasis made it big and Bonehead was 31 as well.
Talent hasn’t a number.
They had a good couple of singles out in 1991...Yesterday Today in particular
Takes me back!
So heres my thing, 96... Mum n Dad were still alive, England put on a show at the Euros, I left college to start a Computing degree, discovered Weed, Friday nights were all about TFI then a night of the fizz, saw Ocean Colour Scene at the electric ballrooom Camden and started dating this young college girl Joanne who was totally beautiful inside and out and wanted to learn about sex ... shit i had it good.

@MusicalElitist1 HE WAS BUSY HAVING SEX YOU ABSOLUTE NERDBURGER!!
Sat here in lock down 2020 drinking vodka reminiscing on the good days man! all the best :)
Eazy T sweet memories...
@MusicalElitist1 he was enjoying himself, maybe you should try it one day
Let me stay here forever 🎶💞
Excellent
Awesomeness
Only 12, 789 views....c'mon sort it out people
your statement kinda falls on deaf ears if you think about it. sorry to sound like a dick.
Small Faces for those who hadn't been born first time round
Spot on.
It’s got a kinda ‘Spencer Davis Group’ vibe to it.
@mishkii just awesome no need 2 say anymore
If you haven't already heard, you should definitely listen to THE BLUE COLLARS. If you love this you will love them!
Bought Painting, some top notch tracks on it.
I bought You Got It Bad single back in mid 90s, But never seen the promo vid of it. Along with single version Travelers Tune and Hundred Mile High City are the best OCS has done. Is this the orignal promo video or recreated for youtube?

We got Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds coming, which should be class.
You know who I want back? The La's!
On other news the Bluetones are splitting up :( final tour atm.
Contemparies of Oasis and Blur in the 90's and who were responsible for some belters in that decade.......
My Fave OCS Track...Didn't do enuff Upbeat Stuff like this IMO
is this their best song? I really can't decide. so great anyway.
For me, they've never made a better song than 'The Circle' but when I think of the essence of Summer back in my childhood in the 90s, this song is one of the songs I think of that really encapsulates the feeling.
@sirgaryhoi this is their official promo video for this single...
Bought Painting too. "We don't look in the mirror now, cause the face that's lookin back, is lookin rather cracked, so we don't look in the mirror now..."
Cool
this vid needs more special effects
Oh ive got it bad allright :(
Whats wrong
Sit hear two reason..on my phone...its the motion season..being drunk and thinking..now I'm all alone.x..dreaming..u got ingood
F O D A !
🇧🇷 show De bola
I fucking love OCS!
The dislikes are by those who got it oh so bad.
Pure brilliance sadly Paul Weller the mod god tore this great band in half for his musical genius 🤐🤐
His backing is one of the key reasons they succeeded (apart from tfi being the obvious one)
@stevecelticfan1888 god knows mate. That's crazy eh? I wish OCS would release an album, oasis and the stone roses would get back together (I'd accept the seahorses reforming as I doubt the roses will ever get back together) and Jim Morrison would come back from the dead.

Better tunes than that bunch of dunces from Manchester though
Go see them live fella, STILL to this day as tight as a nuns nasty bits.
🤯
😂
Gr8, but there s no sex in their music....
Listen then to "Max, don't have sex with your ex" by the band called "Erotics". You will be satisfied.
If only you knew how bad!.
fuckin shit give me Stone Rose
Still pretty bad like... Even Boris Johnson stole my DNA!
They were so bad their guitarist would rather be a session player with Paul Weller
