Oscar Mic – Oscar Mic is Seamus Hayes. One man. one mic, one guitar, a bag full of magic and a mouth like an 808. Ed Sheeran’s abusive uncle, the Salvador Dali of rap n roll! Unlikely, uncontrollable, loathing and lovable and always with a wink, Oscar has played the Where The Wild Things Are stage at the Secret Garden Party, Oxjam Islington, played alongside Verb T and Dr. Syntax at High Focus Records night, performed at the Berlin Music Video Awards, recently supported Dat Brass and played Magical Festival. Oscar’s next single will be produced by Gordon Raphael, seminal producer of The Strokes’s debut album Is This It? “Seamus Hayes has an innate ability to write really catchy pop songs” John Kennedy, XFM “It’s really catchy, it’s poppy, it’s brilliant” ALLY McCRAE, Radio1 “Love this!” DAVID SINCLAIR, The Times Bedroom Tax – Sounding a bit like The D.O.T, Mike Skinner’s shortlived offshoot of The Streets with matey from The Music, the taut basslines and spectral guitar recall The Rapture, this is really good work. XMenBTeam-A ruff n tuff collision of Dub, Reggae, ska and Rock, bit like The Streets in places, good stuff decent hooky tunes. From Manc HEN$HAW-Local lad (Camden) doing edgy trap/rap, slowed down beats, other wordly samples and a cooly nonchalant vocal delivery.
