FLASH: KISS ME ON THE MOUTH – OSWALD SLAIN

Oswald Slain have recently unveiled their debut EP KISS ME ON THE MOUTH, and you don’t want to miss it! Review.

KISS ME ON THE MOUTH – OSWALD SLAIN

This debut EP, KISS ME ON THE MOUTH, was born from the introspective musings of Oswald Slain’s singer-songwriter, Charlie Fitzgerald. The result is confident, full of humour and humanity. From the very first notes of UGLY, the band pulls us in with a retro-modern blend of rock that feels somewhere between a pub and a beach. Catchy, effective, and comforting in its embrace of the uglier parts of our human hearts, it’s clear this didn’t come from nowhere, but from Fitzgerald’s personal exploration.

Road Runner, which follows, leans more into surf rock and offers a melody that’s both infectious and radiant. There’s something comfortable about it, energising yet calm. That same feeling carries over into Mystery Bag. A hint of anxiety creeps into certain arrangements and riffs, but the chorus becomes a friend you can fully trust. Amid the chaos, the vocals become a steady anchor, grounding and, again, really comforting.

Oswald Slain also delve into deeper sounds, completing their retro-modern rock blend. This is particularly felt in the bass of the title track Kiss Me On The Mouth. Darker in tone as well, its progression is as impressive as its sincerity. To me, it’s a banger! Finally, with Baby Boy, the band shows they’re capable of much gentler, pop-leaning sounds thanks to twinkling piano and, this time, acoustic guitars. KISS ME ON THE MOUTH is a well-rounded EP in its genre and, above all, a very promising start for Oswald Slain. Can’t wait to hear what’s next!
