Welcome Oxford UK's Spring Offensive



In the interest of continuing our recent exciting announcements, we'd like to welcome the latest addition to the BBR Family - Spring Offensive from Oxford, UK! We'll be releasing their US debut, Pull Us Apart, in June.

We could tell you this band is good, but it would be a severe understatement. While touring the extent of the UK, the band has built a loyal and passionate fan base. The BBC described the band as "heartfelt, direct, emotional and gorgeous" while Time Out exclaimed they were "bewitching."

Their distinctive sound is brought out well by their introspective lyrics and incredible dynamics. Check out their video for Every Coin below.

We'll have plenty more details soon. In the meantime, look out for the song Abacus Rex to be featured on the upcoming WE LOVE THIS COMP, VOL. I out March 29th.
