“Dead End Hope” opens with such immediacy, drawing listeners into an immersive and tender emotive world. Threading the indescribable feelings that become tangled inside one’s chest into a complex sonic texture, Oceandvst swings back with a hard-hitting banger. The song is a mixture of tenderness of roughness. Keeping listeners on the edge of their seat, filled with tension and suspense. It’s soft, but in an extreme, tangled way. It’s extremely delicate and sticky, fragile yet full of energy.

The three-piece rock band, Oceandvst, approaches music writing with a strong-willed passion and emotional vulnerability. “Dead End Hope” expresses beautifully drastic emotions such as desperation, the breakdown of things and the tendency to hold onto the last hope. Shifting between a harder and more metallic riff-driven texture and an expressive, intense vocal-centered passage, Oceandvst masterfully delivers the piece with ease.

Formed in 2017 in Thessaloniki, Greece, Oceandvst has conquered many hearts in their home country. With numerous sold-out shows under their belt, the band’s sound has matured and expanded over the years since their first EP Escape Rovte. They draw inspirations from all over the rock history, but evolve to be their own unique form. With intensity and energy that resemble iconic bands like Paramore and Bring Me The Horizon, Oceandvst takes one step further, beaming with authentic storytelling that no other act can replicate.

From an indie band that showed promised, Oceandvst has become their own giant in a relatively short time. “Dead End Hope” is a song with mainstream sensibility. However, when did they complete the transformation? Going back Oceandvst’s song catalog, “Better Days” caught them in a stormy, kaleidoscopic mood, while “Nme” is equally good as their latest offering.
