OVERSIZE Share "Separate" Video — WATCH

British alt-shoegaze outfit OVERSIZE have returned with a stunning new single, "Separate," released today via SharpTone Records. Marking a powerful new chapter, the band returns a year after the release of their debut album, Vital Signs, to introduce brand new vocalist Nick Nowak.

Watch the video below.

The band comments, "We're incredibly excited to start this new chapter, not just with a new member, but also with a new creative outlook, after releasing our debut record we have a much better understanding of who we are as musicians and as a band — and we're so happy to share a little part of what we've been working on. This first single was actually the last song we wrote before heading into the studio to record. We finished it about a week before and despite thinking we had our minds set on which tracks we were going to track, it was abundantly clear we had to do this one, that's just the way it goes sometimes I guess!"

OVERSIZE will be touring the UK and Europe next month with The Devil Wears Prada, Novelists, and 156/Silence. All dates are below.

Formed in the South West of England, OVERSIZE — vocalist Nick Nowak; guitarists Lewis Lennane-Emm and Tazz Edwards; bassist George Lewis; and drummer Sam Shutler — blend '90s shoegaze textures, heavy grunge riffs, and raw post-hardcore catharsis. 

OVERSIZE are an alternative band formed in the Southwest of England. While the band don't shy away from their love of alternative '90s music, OVERSIZE have very little interest in being sonically tied to the past, their shared experience of writing and playing live together has found them carving out their own space within the alternative scene. Exploring dynamics within their music, songs drift between atmospheric textures to loud fuzzy riffs, magnifying and complimenting the personal and often venerable vocals. OVERSIZE have already had an impressive amount of live shows under their belt playing across the UK supporting the likes of Militarie Gun, Fiddlehead, Higher Power, Static Dress, Boston Manor, Modern Color to name a few. The debut record Vital Signs was released in February 2025 via SharpTone Records.

Although still very much in their infancy, the group has already developed a fully-formed, personal sound. Elements of post-hardcore, alternative metal, shoegaze and emo combine to deliriously heady effect. While the band don’t shy away from their love of alternative '90s music, and a love of HUM, The Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, and Pixies, OVERSIZEhave very little interest in being sonically tied to the past.

OVERSIZE Share Video For New Track "Vacant' —

OVERSIZE have revealed their new single "Vacant," another glimpse of their stunning debut album Vital Signs, due February 28 via SharpTone.  

Watch the video below.

Stream the song here.

Of the single, the band comments, "''Vacant' is one of the few album tracks that made its way into our live set pre-release, it's one of our favorite songs to play live, and we're really stoked to release it as the last single before our album comes out."

Oversize continue, "Lyrically, the song focuses around a lack of connection and communication with the people around you, how easy it is to get complacent, and not check in with someone, or open up with how you're really feeling."

OVERSIZE have already turned the heads of many tastemakers in the UK scene, with rave reviews and rapt attention from Dan P Carter, Alyx Holcombe, and Jack Saunders at BBC R1. In their short time as a band, OVERSIZE have already performed at Outbreak Festival, and supported Militarie Gun, Higher Power, Fiddlehead, Boston Manor, and many more.

The band members and the shared experience of writing and playing live together has found them carving out their own space within the alternative scene in just a handful of years. Exploring the vast range of dynamics within their music, songs drift between atmospheric textures to loud fuzzy riffs, magnifying and complimenting the personal and often venerable vocals.

OVERSIZE Announce Debut Album "Vital Signs" + Share Video For Title Track

OVERSIZE have announced their stunning debut album Vital Signs, due February 28 via SharpTone.

To commemorate the news, the group has unveiled the title track "Vital Signs."

Watch the video below.

Stream the track here.

Of the single, the band comments, "While 'Vital Signs' is technically the title track of the album, it was originally written as an album closer and from start to finish was written comfortably in under an hour. The simplicity of the song and the free-flowing structure, combined with extra production elements — drum loops and super saturated and effect heavy guitars — give this song a unique feel within our catalogue of songs. Lyrically, much like the rest of the album, the song revolves around a journey of grief and the acceptance of loss. We felt the lyric 'Vital Signs' was the perfect summary for the album as a whole."

On the album, the band continues, "It feels very surreal to finally be releasing our debut full-length. Pretty much since the start of the band, we knew we wanted to be an 'album band.' Even through we had released two EPs previously, we've always had enough material written to make a full-length, so we knew after the second EP it was time to make the jump. Recorded in under two weeks at The Ranch Production House, we closely collaborated with producer Lewis Johns to create something we’re really proud of.

"It was always our aim to write an album where each song has its own identity yet still works holistically as an album, we were really conscious of the album not sounding too 'samey,' yet at the same time, not feeling like a playlist of random songs. We're still so honored that SharpTone shares our passion and vision for the record and can't wait for people to finally hear it."
