OEDIPUS & THE MAMA'S BOYS
'STRETCHED/KITCHENS'
BRAND NEW SINGLE OUT 16/1/26
Oedipus And The Mama's Boys are a seven-piece sonic force from Edinburgh, blending raw post-punk energy with experimental noise rock textures. Armed with guitar, bass, saxophone, violin, drums, and synth, their sound is chaotic, cathartic, and fiercely original-drawing influence from genre heavyweights like IDLES, Gilla Band, Squid, The Murder Capital, and Gurriers
Known for their intense live performances, the band sold out their headline hometown show at Sneaky Pete's and made a powerful Glasgow debut at King Tut's, opening the venue's prestigious 'Summer Nights' series. Followed by several support slots with up and coming bands, such as ‘Legss’, ‘Hotel Lux’, ‘Joe and The Shitboys’ and ‘Fuzz Lightyear’, Oedipus and The Mama’s Boys have found a solid footing in alternative music. With a line-up that pushes boundaries and a sound that defies convention, the band are carving out a bold new space in Scotland’s music scene.
Their debut single 'Bleed' announced their undeniable presence into the Scottish music industry, picking up global airplay, positive feedback and increased visibility across the industry

‘Stretched/Kitchens’ is a song of two parts co-written by Gemima and Charlie in mid September, with two completely separate sets of lyrics that have no correlation whatsoever. Yet they are pinned together.
‘Stretched’ is a letter of gratitude for the love received in a time where I was unaware of how much I needed it, and subsequently how it was taken for granted unknowingly. It is a painful reflection of where I was, and where I ended up. The lyrics were raw and vulnerable to write but it is a song that needed to be written with blood on the page and love in my heart.
‘Kitchens’ is a nightmare, a day dream, a reimagining of the false comfort we find in glorifying our idols - our own desires. We can forget that our muses are projections of our own wants, and where we want for more from what we ourselves make, it exhausts us. The lyrics are a recital of the memories that haunt those who give and lose their all to their muses, stuck in an endless cycle of needing and doing.
