Not to be confused with those Manc dullards, this is Osis with a track called 'Flies'. Taken from the recent self-titled 8-song EP, Osis, the Boston four-piece present themselves as a formidable and explosive punk rock outfit.
The song, which is about mental illness, is pretty good on several counts. Firstly, Osis seem to take their influences from genuine old school, European punk sources, rather than the sanitized, latter-day commercial (spit), American pop-punk - and secondly, that in a fairly male-dominated genre, they are fronted with a female-lead on vocals (Katie Ghoulish).
The result is a pleasingly chaotic sub-ninety-second blast of snarling guitars and narky vocals. A cool debut - great for newbie punk fans, but equally should find appreciation from the die-hard purists.
