About Ocean Colour Scene
Ocean Colour Scene formed in Birmingham at the turn of the 1990s around singer Simon Fowler, guitarist Steve Cradock and drummer Oscar Harrison. Their early records came out in the baggy era and went largely unnoticed, and the band's revival owed a good deal to Paul Weller, who championed them and took Cradock into his own band.
Their sound draws on 1960s soul, the Small Faces and Traffic, built on Cradock's guitar and Fowler's high, clear voice. 'The Riverboat Song' became a fixture of late-90s television, and the follow-up album Marchin' Already went to number one in the UK. 'Hundred Mile High City' turned up on the soundtrack of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
