Our "It's Not Dad Rock Yet" band this week is Oversize. A brilliant shoegaze-y, Grunge-y, Emo-y hybrid from the south west of England. These guys are really starting to make a name for themselves and their new EP "Into the Ceiling" is an absolute banger that is not to be missed. https://oversize.bandcamp.com/album/into-the-ceiling
