KennyyHoopla notes of the raw indie rock-laced lead single, that “orphan//” is about “trying to sift through the process of grief for someone else. The right answer is that there is no right answer.

Following the release of their new single “BLK SHEEP” earlier this month, Oxymorrons have unleashed the accompanying music video. “‘Blk Sheep’ is a raw, unapologetic mirror held up to every corner of society! From corrupt lawmakers who bend rules for profit, to marginalized communities that sometimes embrace the very stereotypes used to oppress them,” the band shares. “It calls out the contradictions, the performative outrage, the selective morality. And at the heart of it all is the bitter truth: if this is what you glorify, if this is what you reward…..then fuck it, why not? We’ll wear the label, live… Read more »
