English rock band from Birmingham, formed in 1989, known for mid-1990s albums Moseley Shoals and Marchin' Already and for a 60s-influenced pop/rock sound.

Praised for Beatles/60s-influenced songwriting and melodic craftsmanship; commercial peak in the mid-1990s with Moseley Shoals and Marchin' Already; frequently described in reviews as underrated.

Reviews praise Ocean Colour Scene's Beatles/60s-influenced songwriting and consistent pop/rock craftsmanship. Their commercial peak was mid-1990s (Moseley Shoals, Marchin' Already) but later albums like On The Leyline are noted as strong. Overall the band is described as underrated yet reliably melodic.

For:Fans of Britpop, 60s/70s-influenced pop-rock, and melodic songwriting.

 Class is permanent. An old saying that Ocean Colour Scene have fully embraced.

 One of them is Ocean Colour Scene, and I’ve decided to review this collection because I believe it is illustrative of what they were capable of and the great injustice towards them.
